Student Council
The Student Council at Mannheim High School is a forum through which students can voice their opinions and express their concerns to the administration. Acting as a mediator between the various clubs and interest groups in the school, the Student Council helps organize the calendar of student events, encouraging participation from the entire student body.
The Student Council officially represents the student body in all areas of school life. This organization is comprised of class representatives. All students are urged to give this organization their fullest support. The Student Council serves grades 9-12. Elections are held in May for officers and representatives. The elections of class officers are held at the beginning of the school year. The criteria for Student Council officers are as follows:
