Student Leadership Council (SLC)
Mission Statement
The Northview community collaborates to achieve high expectations, to encourage global, life-long learning, and to develop productive citizens. The Student Leadership Council is an integral part of these goals.
Mission Statement
The student leadership council will offer leadership opportunities to students both in the school and beyond the classroom. The student leadership council will also give the students ownership and empowerment in the programs they attend and are engaged in.
Goals
The Student Leadership Council will allow opportunities for students to demonstrate leadership in the following areas: social, academic, wellness, and service.
Application and Membership
Any student may apply to become a member of the Student Leadership Council (SLC) by filling out an application and submitting a teacher recommendation.
- Ninth grade students will apply the week of August 21, with applications due on August 25.
- Eighth grade students will apply the week of September 25, with applications due on the 29.
The applications will be reviewed and the teacher SLC committee will select the students based on the application and teacher recommendation (see application attached). Once the SLC is established, a ninth grade executive board consisting of a president, a communications secretary, a membership secretary, a treasurer, and a web master will be elected by the SLC to serve for the 2006/2007 school year (see executive board description attachement). An eighth grade executive board will be elected to shadow the ninth grade executive board.
The SLC will offer leadership opportunities for all members with the operation of committees. With the guidance of a teacher advisor, two co-chairs will operate and lead a committee for each of the goals described above, thus providing a myriad of leadership opportunities for all members, not just those serving on the executive board. An SLC member must commit to serving on one committee for each of the goal areas (social, academic, wellness, and service) to maintain membership.

General Assembly Meeting Format
General assembly meetings for all members will be held one Friday of each month during advisement. Committee meetings will be held when needed on Fridays during Advisement with the guidance of the teacher advisor. Depending on the committee, members may meet more than one Friday a month. Members should only commit to meeting on Fridays, as Monday thru Thursdays are reserved for students to meet with teachers.
