Student Council

Student voice, leadership, and community

The HWIS Student Council gives students opportunities to represent their peers, contribute ideas, organize activities, strengthen school spirit, and take an active role in the life of the school community.

Leadership is strengthened through service.

Student Council members learn that leadership is not only about holding a title. It also requires listening carefully, working with others, following through on responsibilities, and helping create a community where students feel included.
