Purpose: 

The purpose of this organization will be as follows: Provide knowledge and experience in student government, promote school student activities, promote student leadership, promote communication throughout the school, promote pride within the school, promote philanthropic activities on a school, local, and national level, provide a forum for student expression and address the general needs of the student body of Colonia High School.

Membership:

The Colonia High School Student Council represents all legally enrolled students at Colonia High School; as such, all students have equal access to membership (provided they meet certain eligibility requirements); membership decisions will never be made based on race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or religion. There are two routes for membership: 1. Class Officer (Student Council, Senior, Junior, Sophomore, & Freshman); or become a Homeroom Representative (2 - 4 representatives per homeroom).  The Student Council Advisor reserves the right to add to membership, as necessary.

Homeroom Representatives: 

Two to four representatives from each homeroom will be appointed from a pool of applicants by the Student Council Adviser.  Any member of any homeroom is eligible to apply for the position provided they meet Student Council requirements and school regulations.  The application process includes a written essay that provides a platform for the applicant to state why they want to be a part of the Student Council which will be used to determine which representatives will be chosen.  The Student Council Advisor reserves the right to displace representatives, add to membership, or remove from any un-elected positions based on the standard of behavior, discipline, and academics set forth by school regulations.
