What is student council?
Student Council is an organization consisted of members from all classes and grade levels. Students are given the opportunity to develop leadership skills by organizing and executing school activities and service projects during their high school career. These events are the factors that contribute to the school's spirit & pride along with the community's welfare. In addition, Student Council is the voice of the student body that acts upon ideas, interests, and concerns of the student body and school wide community.
If you're interested in building leadership skills, organizational behavior, event planning or becoming more involved in the school community, you are welcome to join the family :)
