MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the West Mecklenburg High School Student Council is to serve the students, the school, and the greater West Mecklenburg community. In order to do so, the Student Council is to make beneficial decisions from the point of view of the students, to give back to the community, school and students, and to provide a link between them. Finally, all members of the Student Council are to advocate the vision and concerns of the student body to school administration and town government, while growing as leaders and acting as role models for their peers.
We don't expect you to be perfect; we want you to be perfectly you.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS! CHOOSE YOUR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE.
