For its exemplary record of leadership, service, and activities that serve to improve the school and community, the Rockwall HS student council has been recognized as a 2022 National Gold Council of Excellence by the National Student Council (NatStuCo) and a 2022 Sweepstakes Award Winning Council by the Texas Association of Student Councils. These are the highest awards available from each association.
“Receiving a National Gold Council of Excellence Award shows the utmost dedication a school’s students, leaders, and staff have made to making their community a better place,” said NASSP CEO Ronn Nozoe. “Rockwall High School has gone above and beyond in elevating student voice to ensure they are establishing a positive climate and culture, as well as fostering academic and social growth for all.”
To meet the requirements for these awards, a student council must meet a variety of criteria. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings, a democratic election process, the councils have demonstrated successful sponsorship and participation in activities such as leadership development and service to the school and community.
