Springville High School Student Council

The Student Council represents the students of Springville High School. The Student Council and each of the classes elect a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer each year. The Student Council members and officers are responsible for the activities during Homecoming week, the Homecoming Parade, and the Homecoming Court, the Christmas Joy, the Slam Dunk and Three Point Shoot-Out Contests, and other school-wide activities.

The Student Council is an extra-curricular organization for the purpose of sponsoring quality activities for the student body, promoting school spirit, providing community service projects, and encouraging student participation and decision-making among the members.  We encourage all SHS students to get involved; it is your school, and your year. Make the most of it! 

The National Association of Student Councils promotes and provides leadership development opportunities to prepare and empower student leaders to serve their schools and communities. Since 1931 the goal of NASC has been to help all student councils become more effective organizations.
