Student Council

What is Student Council?

Student Council is a student-led extracurricular activity designed to promote positive school culture. The purpose of SMS Student Council is to give students a voice in what happens at school. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders come together, share ideas, identify problems, and propose solutions. Your voice and opinion matter! Student Council puts into action the ideas that students have—we work together to make South great. Some initiatives and programs go all year, while others only last one day. Student Council is lead by an all-student Executive Team.

Committees work on completing tasks that align with the SMS mission & vision:
SMS Mission: Inspire and prepare all students to connect, discover, and succeed.  
SMS Vision: Challenge minds, build authentic relationships, and nurture individual growth for all students.
