Student Council

“I have really enjoyed the opportunity to associate with a different group students as we lead together. Student 1Council has helped me grow in the area of leadership because it is a vastly different type of leadership than what I am used to with sports. One of the biggest things I have learned from student government is how to listen to and rely on others.”
Reid – Student Body President
