Intermediate School Student Council (ISSC) - Finding the voices of young people and changing the world for the better. Our group of dedicated and hard-working advocates represent every homeroom in our school. The responsibility of a Council Representative is to share events, activities, and changes happening within our school with their homeroom, as well as bring questions, concerns, and ideas to the Council. Student Council portrays the core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Kindness. Every member plays an integral part of setting the culture of our school by being the voice of the student body.
Each month of the school year, we have something going on - Activity Nights, Movie Night, 6th Grade Semi-Formal, Spartan-ation Sale, etc. We also hold events to raise money for the club and local community interests. For example, we hold a Spirit Wear Sale, a Together We Can Food Drive, and collect Pop Tabs. We also sponsor events and activities such as Spirit Days, Campus Clean up, and Celebration Assemblies.
ISSC meets 1-2 Wednesdays a month, during the 10th period after typical school hours. There are plenty of opportunities for leadership and helping out around our school. We typically participate in a Youth Leadership Forum each year. If you are a “mover and a shaker,” have ideas for improving our school, want to join in creating a safe, fun, and innovative place to learn - then Student Council might be for you! The call for applicants goes out in September, with elections held in October. Students receive a list of meetings and events for the year, as well as reminders on morning announcements, because member attendance is crucial to our success.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: indeed it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
