Meet Kalid Ali, a Macalester College student, Como Park High School alum and dedicated community leader. Kalid served as Como Park student council president and was also a representative on the city-wide Saint Paul Public School (SPPS) Student Engagement and Advancement board, ensuring that student voices were represented in district decisions that impacted their lives and education. During COVID-19, Kalid reached out to our Achieve Career Pathway Coordinator Bridgette Kelly to find support for his student friends who were struggling to stay on track with their career and college plans, and to help ensure that they received the guidance and resources they needed.
