This year marks an exciting new chapter for the student council, as they welcome a new sponsor, Chelsea Franklin. With her fresh perspective and energetic approach, the Student Council is sure to achieve great things and continue being a powerful voice for the Wildkats.
The club will host their first meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 28 at 3:15 in the LGI.
“I am a part of the student council to excel at my leadership abilities, help our community,and to participate in helping to make our school a better place not just for students but also teachers.” junior Mia McGowen said.
The student council itself is an important part of student life. It serves as a platform for students to express their opinions, address concerns, and contribute to the process of improving our school environment. Under the guidance of our new sponsor, the council is more vibrant and dynamic than ever.
“Student council is important to the school because it’s how we get our voices out in the conversations of administrators,” junior Isaiah Higgins said. “For the students it teaches us how to be good effective leaders.”
Members are working hard to plan events, begin projects and support their peers. Whether it’s organizing spirit weeks, planning community service activities or representing student interests in meetings with school administration, the student council is dedicated to making the school a better place for everyone.
“We want a culture that’s inspiring, createful, and respectful,” Franklin said. “We do all kinds of activities, we do pep rally activities, gift hand offs at games, a part of homecoming, and a lot of other different things.”
Being a part of the student council not only allows students to make a positive impact on their school but also helps them develop valuable skills such as leadership, teamwork and public speaking. It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to grow and learn outside the classroom while making lasting memories and friendships.
“I think more students should join because they can meet new people and be able to connect with the community and the environment,” junior Natalia Herrera said. “They can also make a good impression on their teachers and gain a good reputation.”
