SIS Student Council
The SIS student council was formed in October 1995 in response to a student-felt need to address student issues. It has operated continuously since then and has had a major impact on school life. Through the student council members of the SIS student body have been able to participate in the political process while members of the council have been able to develop their leadership skills.
The major thrust of the council is fundraising which it does through its Student Store. Money raised by Student Store sales has been used to provide ethnic furniture for common areas, cementing and stocking of two school ponds, purchase of a camera for the journalism department, provision of a tennis net, and many similar projects.
The student council also organizes school parties for both elementary and secondary students, solicits and organizes donations for the community service program, and supports the athletic department and excursion committee.
