Oak Hill Leadership

Students in grades one through six have the opportunity to learn leadership skills through involvement and participation in the Oak Hill Student Council. All students are part of the council. Sixth grade students serve as officers and student representatives are elected from each homeroom. Officers and representatives must follow an elective process of nomination, platform development, speech making, voting, and acceptance of office. Student Council meetings are held bi-monthly and offer the representatives the opportunity to present the thoughts and ideas of their classmates for consideration. Students learn to be responsible and develop and practice the skills of listening, communicating, planning, organizing, and problem solving. Attitudes of tolerance, compassion, respect, fairness, and courtesy are modeled by the officers and expected of every member of the Student Council.
