  As the year comes to a close, Lee’s Summit North’s Student Council is hosting its annual elections again.

   Student council is a student organization that focuses on engaging the student body in various productive ways. If you have been wandering the halls of Lee’s Summit North, you have probably seen the posters advertising the different things STUCO does. The biggest event that STUCO hosts every year is homecoming. 

   STUCO is not an open club, you have to apply to be a part of it. Prospective members must fill out an application and complete an interview with one of the sponsors of STUCO. The application also includes getting 5 teacher evaluations filled out. Interviews will be taking place from April 28 to April 30, with results announced on May 7th.

   The requirements of being in STUCO are that you have to have a 2.75 weighted GPA, and you have to demonstrate certain traits that make you a good student leader. 

   The link to the application can be found on the posters in the hallways, and the signup sheet for interviews can be found on Brielle Laster’s, English teacher and STUCO sponsor, door. Laster’s room is located right across from the MacLab in room 2118..

   Returning members only have to complete the application and not an interview. The due date for these applications is Friday, April 25th, at midnight. 

   While STUCO is a teacher-sponsored organization, there is a level of student leadership as well. There are officer positions open to only incoming seniors who have at least a year of STUCO experience. Those officer positions are President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Historian. These positions all have different specific roles, but each person has the responsibility of leading meetings and being a good representative of STUCO. These prospective officers must complete a separate application, get 5 teacher evaluations as well as 2 letters of recommendation, and complete an interview with a sponsor. Officer applications are due on Tuesday, April 29, by 2:45 p.m. The link to sign up for interviews is posted in the STUCO SportsYou. The officer interviews will take place after school on May 1st, with results posted on May 7th.

   Whether you are applying for an officer position or are a new member, STUCO is excited to have you be a part of it.
