What is Student Council?
Student Council is an eleven-member secondary organization made up of representatives that are elected by their peers. Student Council is foremost a service organization, with the primary objective of making HIS a better environment for students. There are five executive officers that are elected by secondary students and a representative for each grade that are elected by their class peers. Student council’s mission statement is to initiate and develop projects to make HIS a great place. The main responsibility of each member is to be the voice for their grade and their peers at HIS. Student Council organizes and plans numerous events throughout the year such as dance parties, the End of the Year Party at the Sheraton, weekly secondary assemblies, welcoming new secondary students and teachers throughout the year, promoting special events, updating information on the Student Council board monthly, four weeks of intramural sports, spirit days and spirit stick activities, Winter Sports Pep Rally, secondary Talent Show, monthly virtues, and monthly community service projects.
