Springer Middle School Student Council Chapter

Faculty Leader:  Elizabeth Koons

The Student Council provides a valuable leadership partnership between students and their school. It creates the opportunity for students to become effective leaders. It encourages a positive school climate. Empowered students are vehicles for positive change in their school and community. Student leaders have the responsibility to be positive role models. Student councils play a vital role in preserving knowledge of and practice in the democratic process. Leadership training programs are essential to allow developing leaders to achieve their full potential. Involvement in state and national programs enhances the local school’s leadership development program. Student council programs are stronger when all students are encouraged to participate.
