Congratulations to our STUCO members!
Thank you to everyone who applied! We were blown away by the incredible interest and talent in our student body. Unfortunately, due to the high number of applications and specific requirements for the role, we couldn't select everyone.
Leadership is an important skill that everyone should strive to develop. We look forward to seeing more students step up and get involved in making our school a better place.
