Proudly wearing matching red shirts, members of the Guilderland High School Student Help Desk wowed the school board Tuesday night with their generosity and technical know-how.

The student-run group, guided by the school librarians, Melissa Gergen and Bernard Bott, formed this year to “provide opportunities for students to foster and develop leadership and problem-solving skills, supported by technology,” said Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Demian Singleton. Twenty-nine students applied and 17 are on the first team, Singleton said; the program may be developed into a course for high-school credit. The students help both classmates and teachers with tech equipment and problems.
