Student Council

Participation in Student Council is an excellent way for young men and women to be actively engaged in the life of the school. It provides an opportunity for students to exercise and develop their leadership skills. Participation in Student Council also builds the life skills of team work and compromise while providing students with a glimpse into the broad scope of all the functions that work together to foster and maintain a positive culture within a diverse school community.

The CWNC Student Council is made up of:

The Executive Council

• President
• Vice President
• Treasurer
• Secretary

Class Representatives

• Each grade level has 4 elected representatives

Committees

• Spirit
• Events
• Service
• Leadership Team
• Other committees that should arise from the council leadership

***All students in elected positions must serve on at least 2 committees.

Elections

During the month of May we will hold elections for the executive council positions and class representatives for the following school year.

Elections for the freshman class representatives will take place in September of the following year.

Eligibility

All students running for an elected position will need to meet the requirements established by the Student Council moderators, Ms. Burke and Mr. Widenhofer. Students interested in running for office should see Ms. Burke or Mr. Widenhofer to acquire the necessary paperwork and meet all deadlines.

All students who wish to participate in student council must be in good academic and disciplinary standing with the CWNC administration.

Any rising 10th or 11th grader who has actively participated in Student Council for at least 1 year and meets the requirements established by the Student Council moderators is eligible to run for positions on the Executive Council.

Any student who meets the requirements established by the Student Council moderators is eligible to run for a representative position in his/her grade level.

All students in good academic and disciplinary standing are permitted to join Student Council committees and participate in the life and activities of CWNC. Committee positions are not elected.
