Student Council

- Student Council is an important aspect of STM leadership. The Council is given latitude in its presentations and assistance at assemblies. Often the Student Council will run activities completely, with only supervision from administration. This independence creates self-confidence, enhances public speaking skills, promotes leadership and demonstrates the abilities of our future leaders. The Council is elected each year by the student body.

  President: The President is in charge of overseeing all activities performed by the Student Council. Leads Wednesday school-wide assemblies.
  
  Vice President: The Vice President assists in making executive decisions and has the responsibility of stepping forward in place of the President in the President’s absence.
