STUDENT COUNCIL
School Pledge
I pledge
My head to life-long learning and creativity,
My heart to respect and compassion,
My hands to helping people and the planet, and
My health to better living,
I put my head, heart, hands, and health together to make a difference for my family, my school, my community, and the world!
At UST we believe that student leadership builds skills and competencies essential for the 21st century. Involvement in student government and student press helps students learn to show initiative and responsibility, acquire problem solving skills, build confidence, and teaches them the importance of making a difference by servicing their school and community.
The Role of the Student Council
Topics that come under discussion at Student Council meetings include the following:
school events; school rules and discipline; ecological issues; health and safety; homework; friendship; fundraising; students’ yearbook; ECAs.
