Ben Moskowitz is a senior at Walter Johnson High School. His experience in student government in elementary school, junior high and high school scored him a seat on the Montgomery County Board of Education. He votes on everything from administrative appointments to student expulsion appeals, though as a student, he has no say on school budget or certain personnel matters. He’s giving up 20 hours a week and part of his spring break to fulfill board obligations, but says it’s worth it.
