If you’ve ever dressed up for a spirit week, danced at homecoming, or donated to a school holiday food drive, you’ve felt the impact of our SCA. This student-led organization is basically the engine behind our school’s culture. They are the official link between the student body and the administration, taking our feedback straight to the front office to improve student-faculty relationships. But it’s not all event planning and community service projects. The students running the show are also leveling up their own skills every single day, learning how to speak in public, lead teams, and make big decisions together.
When asked about her journey in leadership, President Lauren Cigna emphasized the importance of getting involved as early as possible. “I recommend joining when you’re a freshman,” Lauran stated. While she noted that managing the endless scheduling of meetings can sometimes feel like a dictatorship when trying to keep everyone organized, she finds the experience deeply rewarding. Ultimately, she serves because she wants to be more involved, make an impact, and build a stronger school community.
Vice President Shelby Bourne noted that while the position comes with a heavy workload, the benefits are well worth it. “There are so many meetings,” she shared, explaining that learning to pick your priorities and remain flexible is key to managing the role. Despite the busy schedule, she highlighted the long-term rewards of leadership. According to Shelby, the position allows you to become deeply involved in the community, while also providing an experience that looks great for college.
For Secretary Violet Beettie, effective communication is the backbone of a successful student government. When discussing how the officers manage their responsibilities, she highlighted that utilizing social media helps to run their events and outreach campaigns smoothly. She acknowledged that the role requires a flexible schedule to handle the high volume of meetings, but emphasized that it is an incredible way to serve the community and prepare for college.
