Student Council
Student Council is a group of elected members that advocate for student voices, provide assistance in school affairs and activities, and encourage relationships between students, faculty, and administration. Both Middle and Upper School have a student council.
In Upper School, this club also leads Town Hall meetings; disburses funding for other clubs; and plans student events like Homecoming, Student Body Week, and the freshman retreat in partnership with SMU students.
