Superior High student leaders report strong homecoming turnout, plan student-voice project
Loading...
Summary
Student body president and vice president told the district board that homecoming participation and student engagement are up this year; student council plans a winter spirit week and a student-voice project to gather proposals for school improvements.
Bridal Ferrell, student body president, and Veronica Aguero, vice president of student council, reported to the Superior School District Board on Oct. 13 that homecoming events drew strong participation, including an assembly students described as “the best assembly we’ve had in a very long time.”
The students said activities included a parade, a homecoming assembly, fall ball, and a student-run student-section social media account. Athletic highlights they shared included senior cross-country champion Lene Almonte, boys soccer winning the Lake Superior Conference and home playoff hosting, and a girls tennis competitor advancing to state.
Why it matters: Student leaders said higher participation in assemblies and events signals growing school engagement, and they are planning more assemblies and after-school events to sustain that momentum. They also asked the board how it would like the student council to update trustees going forward.
Details: Upcoming activities the student council is planning include freshmen elections this week, a winter spirit week called “Frost Fest,” and additional after-school events such as recreational tournaments. The students said they will distribute a Google feedback form to the student body to collect ideas and to identify problems for the student-voice project, which aims to bring student proposals to school leadership.
Board and administration response: Board members asked what the students want from trustees; administrators suggested working with the high school liaison to bring student requests forward. Trustees encouraged student representatives to compile feedback and noted the district would welcome presentations back to the board or to the Committee of the Whole after trips or events.
Ending: The board thanked the student representatives for their report and invited them to return with follow-up presentations and feedback collected from the student body.
