The Newton Sough High School "South Senate" focus on passing school legislation that aims to empower student voices, foster improvements to school policy, and promote student excellence. In the past year, we have got new/more chairs in the student center, textbooks/study material in the library, and passed bills. For more info, please look at the "Public Documents" or other tabs on the website.
