Some area high schools are among an elite group of schools from throughout the state of South Dakota to be formally recognized for having “Outstanding Student Councils” for the 2017-18 school year by the South Dakota High School Activities Association.
On Monday, the Activities Association announced that 38 South Dakota high school student councils have been recognized as being “Outstanding Student Councils” for the current school year.
This is the 28th year for the statewide program which is sponsored by the SDHSAA to recognize
South Dakota High School student councils that meet or exceed the rigorous standards of excellence that are necessary to achieve the “Outstanding Student Council” designation.
To be recognized as an “Outstanding Student Council,” schools which are honored are involved in projects in areas such as “Community and School Service,” “Health, Safety or Chemical Awareness,” “Education,” and “Leadership.” Completion of projects in a wide range of areas was necessary to fulfill a variety of goals for the student council. Each school receiving the SDHSAA “Outstanding Student Council” award has demonstrated a desire for self-improvement and individual growth by participating in leadership workshops and conventions, as well as other educational programs.
School districts in the KMSD listening area which have been recognized for having “Outstanding High School Student Councils” for the 2017-18 school year include Milbank, Summit, Watertown, and Waverly-South Shore.
