Student Council

Student council serves as an active way to be involved with school activities and serving the community. By joining student council, Dundee-Crown students’ voices and opinions are recognized and acted upon. If any student would like to have input on school activities, such as homecoming, then student council demonstrates itself to serve as the perfect place for students. In addition, student council serves the local community via food drives, clothing collections, and much more. Not only can students be a part of something, but leadership roles are another major component of student council. If students enjoy leading others, then student council would serve as a great fit. Ultimately, by joining student council, students collaborate and act upon their own ideas and opinions while giving back to Dundee-Crown High School and the local community.
