Student Council
Student Council (STUCO) is your chance to help upgrade student life and lead positive change at our school. STUCO members organize school socials, volunteer at school events, celebrate appreciation days, and work to build a strong sense of school spirit.
We’re looking for students who want to take action, solve problems, and represent their classmates in meaningful ways. Students who participate fully in STUCO will also have a chance to be selected for the Principal’s Advisory Council, a group of just six students who work closely with our head principal, Ms. Smith. Be on the lookout for more about this special opportunity in a video from Ms. Smith soon.
Applications open on September 3 and close at the end of the day on September 9, 2025.
Get involved, make an impact, and help shape what’s next at PCMS.
