STUDENT ACTIVITIES

2011-2012 STUDENTS’ REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL

The role of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) is to provide a liaison between students and staff. The SRC works in a leadership role organizing blood donor clinics, sponsoring guest speakers and motivational media, supporting school clubs, and planning school activities such as theme days and school dances. Community involvement includes charity walks, raising money for global causes, and hosting community food and clothing drives. The SRC is the voice of the student body and welcomes your ideas and suggestions.
