MMS Student Council
Mission Statement
The Memorial Middle School Student Council will support the interest and involvement in the middle school community by organizing events and activities for the student body. The Student Council will promote school pride and help build a positive school atmosphere. Additionally, the Student Council will encourage effective communication between the student body, faculty, administration, parents and the surrounding community.
Requirements
All members will hold their elected positions for one year. Once elected, students may not be involved in any severe behavioral infractions nor have an on-going pattern of misbehavior. While there is no cumulative grade average requirement, it is mandatory that students will take responsibility to fulfill his/her academic responsibilities by maintaining passing grades while serving as a representative of their classmates. In the event that these requirements and expectations are not met, the faculty advisors will address the issue with the student and develop a plan of action to help remedy the concern.
