Student Council
Advisors: Charlotte Gandy, Jordyn Latimore, Gianluca Nicastro
Harris Elementary's Student Council is a group of dedicated young leaders committed to representing the student body and promoting positive change within the school community. Members of the Student Council are elected to positions such as president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, allowing them to develop leadership skills. In addition, we aim to have two classroom representatives from each 4th–6th grade classroom to ensure all voices are heard. To demonstrate their determination and commitment to our school, students on Student Council must also complete an interview process as part of their selection.
Student council officers record the daily announcements, providing updated information to the student body and helping keep everyone informed.
The club plans a variety of activities, including fundraisers, community service projects, and school events, all designed to boost school spirit, support student well-being, and advocate for student interests. By actively working with their peers and faculty, Student Council members serve as role models, fostering collaboration, inclusivity, and a strong sense of community among students.
