Leadership

The Student's Rights and Responsibilities Club aspires to educate students on school and county wide policies/regulations that impact their rights and responsibilities. We hope to focus on covering expectations for student conduct, updates from the Maryland State Department of Education, and issues regarding discrimination, stigmatization, and bullying that occur a school and county wide basis. The club is looking for creative, advocacy-driven young leaders who would like to help in creating posters, organizing letter-writing campaigns, and hosting school events!

Moco4Change is a pre-existing organization led by Montgomery County students working to solve the most pressing issues of our time. It has been around since 2018. Some of these include getting public attention about social injustices like climate change, gender inequality, helping seniors get registered to vote, and gun control. They have a variety of schools in MCPS with smaller branches within their school. This club would be the Churchill branch. This would be a club designed to foster leadership and advocacy skills through learning all about social justice in different applications. Monthly meetings will have different themed discussions. Some ideas for later on include potential fundraisers, workshops, and public speakers to add engagement to the club.
