Students push culture work through new leadership council, staff say
Summary
A school staff member described a 35-student leadership council focused on school culture; students emphasized teamwork and being "the best version of yourself," and staff reported increased engagement and pride.
A staff member told the board that the new student leadership council met with about 35 students and focused on defining school culture and what to keep or change. Students highlighted teamwork, asking "meaningful" questions and being constructive with adults; one recommendation the group liked was the motto "by being the best version of yourself."
Staff said the council and related programs are already yielding pride and engagement among students, citing volunteerism at breakfast programs and positive community feedback when visitors observe the students. Board members praised the work and encouraged continued emphasis on student voice.
