For its exemplary record of leadership, service, and activities that serve to improve the school and community, the Oregon City High School student council has been recognized as a 2020 National Gold Council of Excellence by National of Student Council (NatStuCo).
“Receiving a National Gold Council of Excellence Award reflects the highest dedication on the part of the school to providing a strong, well-rounded student council program,” said Nara Lee, National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) Director of Student Leadership. “NatStuCo applauds the work of the National Gold Councils of Excellence and challenges them to continue their leadership and service to their schools and communities.”
ASB President, Max Reed, says "I am so happy!! This is recognition for all the hard work we’ve done throughout the year. This was truly a team effort and everyone in every committee was used to accomplish the requirements for this award. Special shoutout to Traver for coming into an entirely new class, with not much time to prepare and not much guidance, and leading us and pushing us everyday to do better. Thank you so much to our entire student council. We have done big things in StuCo this year. And I’m excited to see what we can do virtually for the rest of the year."
"I am so proud of our student leaders. They are a great group who have a strong desire to lead and make our school a better place for everyone! This achievement of Gold School just shows how hard our students are working and I couldn't be happier for them." stated by the Student Council Advisor, Tiffani Traver.
To meet the requirements for the National Council of Excellence Award, a student council must meet a variety of criteria. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings, a democratic election process, the councils have demonstrated successful sponsorship and participation in activities such as leadership development and service to the school and community. Councils awarded the gold level of the award have successfully demonstrated the highest levels of leadership.
