2025 National Gold Council of Excellence Award Recipient
The National Association of Student Councils has recognized our Student Council as a 2025 National Gold Council of Excellence for its exemplary record of leadership, service, and activities that assist our school and community. This is the seventh consecutive year our council earned this award.
To meet the award requirements, a student council must meet various criteria, such as crafting a written constitution, conducting regular meetings, and adopting a democratic election process. Additionally, it demonstrates successful sponsorship and participation in leadership development and activities that serve its school and community.
"Our students continue to amaze us year after year," said Superintendent-Director Dr. Michael F. Fitzpatrick. "On behalf of our school community, we applaud our award-winning student council's consistent work and continued efforts to improve their school and surrounding communities through their leadership and service."
“We are equally proud of our advisors, Danielle Cann and Megan (Potenti) Wilk, who consistently assist and empower our council members through annual service projects and fundraising efforts that truly make a difference in the lives of our families and community," said Dr. Fitzpatrick.
This national recognition honors student councils that demonstrate exemplary leadership, service, and commitment to school and community. It is an honor to receive this prestigious award.
