For outstanding achievement in leadership, service, and activities that serve to improve the school and community, Sudan High School Student Council has been recognized as a Sweepstakes Council. Sweepstakes councils must be recognized as an Outstanding Student Council and receive outstanding recognition in Drugs, Alcohol, Safety and Health (DASH); Pride and Patriotism; and Energy and Environment as well as submitting a Community Service Report. TASC has over 1200 member schools. Of those, Sudan High School is one of only 238 stu-dent councils statewide to receive this highly-esteemed honor.
Mrs. Dugan, advisor of Sudan High School Student Council, said “I could not be more proud of this entire council for showing their servant hearts and leadership skills. We love Sudan and look forward to keeping up our hardwork and dedication to the Sudan community and our school.”
Student Council members develop proven skills in team building, problem solving, project planning, and decision making. Through their co-curricular activities, student council members serve their communities while strengthening their academic and civic skills. Emry Humphreys, President of the Sudan Student Council expressed her excitement in earning this recognition saying, “It has been an honor to participate in so many different service projects this year, as we have continued a tradition of earning sweepstakes and being recognized for our outreach. I love being a part of such a great organization here at Sudan ISD.”
