Homecoming 2017
It’s Homecoming season! Homecoming is an invitation for alumni to come back and reconnect with high school friends, faculty, and coaches. This event is created with the help of student council through setup of the pep rallies, parades, decorating the dance, and preparation of spirit week. Many high schools in Georgia were able to celebrate Homecoming in the month of September! Congrats to President school Meadowcreek HS and Secretary school Berkmar HS on having a successful homecoming! If you'd like for your high school to be featured send us an email !

Pillar 2: Service
Hurricane Harvey and Irma Fundraising
Student Council members around the US had the generosity to make fundraisers to those who were victims of Hurricane Harvey and Irma. These tragic natural disasters happened through late August through mid September, but luckily we had an extra hand all the way from Illinois. Student Council members in Illinois held fundraisers and raised an incredible amount of $14,000 for victims of these hurricanes.
Red Cross Link
“All the money went to the Red Cross and they will redistribute it from there,” Mrs. Beck stated about where the money went.
