8th Grade Council is a leadership development class whose primary focus is to plan, create, and execute all the 8th grade class year activities. Some of these activities include, but are not limited to, forming class name, class mascot, class motto, class colors, 8th grade dances, fund raisers, community services, gathering Year Book personalities categories, 8th Ice Skating trip, 8th Grade Picnic, 8th Grade Formal, Grad Night, and Graduation. Students are expected to respect each other’s ideas, participate in all activities, assign council duties and responsibilities and work collaboratively on projects. There is one council representing each 8th grade homeroom. Application Process At the end of the 7th grade, students are encouraged to apply for 8th Grade Council by filling out an application with all of their final grades and teacher’s signatures. In some cases a student can be recommended by a teacher for a unique leadership quality they have demonstrated or posses in their respective classroom. Please click on the link below to print out the recruitment letter. Requirements Students applying must hold a minimum of 2.5 G.P.A (C + average) and no “U’s” on their last report card (7th grade). But of all things they have to possess an outgoing personality, leadership skills that have not been fully developed, and the ability to speak in front of a class. Class participation is mandatory! Our class meets daily during homeroom where all discussions are taken place and tasks are assigned for all the activities. 8th Grade Councils Members are expected to be role models for other students. You must maintain good grades and excellent citizenship marks (Work Habits and Cooperation). Students are responsible to keep their grades or they will be put on probation until they improve; if there is no improvement they may be removed and replaced. 8GC is a fun way to be involved, acquire leadership skills and make your 8th grade memorable!!
