MC's Scripts

For every assembly and school-wide gathering, our MC's write a lively script to prepare themselves and the student body for upcoming events and other important school goings-ons. As the officers and leaders of Student Council, it is their responsibility to establish crowd involvement and invigorate school spirit within each and every student. They spend personal time outside of school gathering to collaborate ideas and write the most entertaining and efficient script for the student body.

Club Day

Once a year, RMHS hosts club day: an event in which we have all the amazing clubs on campus set up a table around our amphitheater during lunch periods to recruit students and show them what their club could offer the student body! The club tables inform students on what the club is/represents, what it entails, and how it enhances the high school experience. This year the student council partnered up with our Red Sea to explain our plans to enlighten the school year with our best dances, biggest and brightest student sections, and most fun and interactive assemblies alongside games such as Big Jenga and Big Connect 4 to entertain students simultaneously.

Rockstar Training

Rockstar Training, an annual Red Mountain Student Council event, is a collaborative meeting between club and sports representatives on campus. During our event, 2-4 representatives from each club/sport meet with those from differing groups to learn how we can improve involvement, support, and communication amongst ourselves and throughout the rest of the student body. A Student Council representative will lead the discussion on what other clubs may do to support RM activities, and from there we learn how we can support other clubs on campus to lead the rest of Red Mountain students to do the same. We use Rockstar Training not only to maintain healthy club intersectionality, but also as an opportunity to emphasize and improve our leadership on campus.

Oktoberfest

It's tradition in our council to attend Oktoberfest, an event hosted and sponsored by the German club--where all staff, students, and parents can go to learn about the amazing food, dance, and culture of Germany from the comfort of our own cafeteria! Every year the night is filled with happy families enjoying the German experience right inside the walls of their very high school. As a council, by attending this event we are educating ourselves not only on cultures outside of our own, but also on the hard work and dedication of groups such as the German club who don’t get as much recognition as other clubs. Throughout the year, we continue to attend these events and show love, inclusion and recognition for all diverse clubs at Red Mountain.

Mountain Movers Lunch

Mountain Movers is Red Mountain High School's Applied Special Education Program. Our council organizes lunches with this program to show our appreciation not only for what they represent but also for the hard work put into running the program. We bought lunch for the program’s students and afterwards we spent time hanging out and doing some of their favorite activities together. Council members dressed up in fun costumes to make things a little more interesting and the Mountain Movers loved it! This lunch was an important opportunity for us to learn about these students, their interests, and what we can do to help them out on campus. We all had a blast dancing, eating, and learning about each other and we look forward to further including our Mountain Movers in fun activities here at Red Mountain.
