"StuCo is life! Being a part of student council has shaped and molded me into the leader I am today. With numerous experiences, opportunities, and relationships that have been developed have influenced my success. I am very passionate about student success, community service, volunteerism, and inclusion. I feel that StuCo is the place for all of this to take place in our schools. It helps share ideas, interests, and concerns. It also helps raise funds for school-wide activities, including social events, community service projects, helping with student needs and setting the culture and climate of our schools. Always remember, students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care! I LOVE STUCO!!!" -Mr. Rodger Bridgeman Jr.
