Student Council & Class Officers
Purpose/Objective - To encourage and develop student leadership, cooperation, and networking
Description

A brief overview of what the club/activity entails. What do members typically do? What are the main activities or events? Each class is tasked with planning and facilitating their senior prom. They are also responsible for fundraising for the prom and other senior activities. In addition, the student council as a whole, organizes the pep rallies, schedules spirit days, and tries to raise school spirit within the building. Students create and market events to the student body based on collaboration and teamwork. They are able to partner with other students outside of their friends circle. This year, we were able to do an exchange day with Brookside HS in which our students were able to meet and connect with students from another district, allowing them to network beyond our walls. Students also planned and organized our first Winter Ball, which was held in January. Students also run the indoor concession stand.
