Gilbert High School hosted the Arizona Association of Student Councils State Convention on Jan. 29–31, welcoming about 1,800 students from 137 schools for three days of leadership training, networking and collaboration.
The convention, the association’s largest annual event, highlights student councils and their advisers and provides opportunities for leadership development and the election of a new state board.
Gilbert High’s Student Council program includes 79 students in grades 9–12 who serve as class officers, committee heads and student body officers. Members help organize school events, assemblies and community service projects, with an emphasis on leadership skills, collaboration and student voice.
