How do I become a Student Council Representative?
There are presidents and vice presidents at each grade level.  Students who are interested in becoming a class president need to find a running mate.  The election begins with a primary in September where two cabinets are selected for the October election.  A vigorous campaign process follows with the cabinets getting their platform messages out to the student body.  The election process culminates with the student election that includes a debate, voting by the student body, and a variety of professional speakers from our area.  This is an exciting event at Whitewater Middle School and students are encouraged to be a part of the process!

Are there any field trips?
Yes.  Student Council participates in an annual trip, hopefully we will be able to go this year..  Students who have been active in at least four activities, attended all but two meetings, and academically meet the requirements are invited to be a part of this fun day.  The trip usually takes place in May or June.
