3. Guest Speaker-TruthSpeaks 365-GHS

Recommend Board approval for Erin Pompa from TruthSpeaks 365 to visit GHS and speak with the Volunteer Leadership Development Club and Freshman Class on October 1, 2026.

 

TruthSpeaks 365 was founded by Erin Pompa, a former educator who saw firsthand how much students needed honest conversations and real representation. The turning point came during one of her presentations, when two Black girls left her a note thanking her for simply being there-for giving them the chance to see themselves on stage. That moment made it clear: this mission was bigger than one speaker. It was a call to elevate Black, Brown, and female voices so students could see and hear people who not only looked like them, but who also understood their struggles. What started with Erin’s story has grown into a team of exceptional speakers who use courageous storytelling, dynamic engagement, and authentic connection to help students build resilience, make choices they’re proud of, and strengthen the culture of their schools.
