Yamhill Carlton ASB president announces national 'Gold Council' recognition
Summary
Natalie Skye, ASB president at Yamhill Carlton High School, told the board the student council earned a national Gold Council award and has also applied for the state 'gold council' recognition; the board praised student leadership and advisers.
Natalie Skye, ASB president at Yamhill Carlton High School, opened the district report to tell the board the student council received national recognition. “We actually got some really exciting news today… they emailed us today letting us know that we did get it… we got the gold council,” Skye said, noting the group is one of nine schools to earn the honor this year.
Board members and staff credited advisers and the student leadership team for documenting community service, meeting minutes and inclusivity measures required by the award. Superintendent Ian and others described the award process as a documentation-heavy application; Skye said the council compiled a lengthy submission and letters of support from advisers. The board also heard brief event updates from the ASB president, including spirit week, a backpack day and a prom scheduled for May 10 at Abbey Road Farms.
Board member Ken asked reporters and administrators to note that student leadership work goes beyond dances and banners, praising adviser contributions and urging the district to preserve documentation that demonstrates impact. The board did not take formal action on the recognition item; it was presented as an informational report.
