The THS Student Council is the official representative group of the student body. It is a service organization serving the school and community. The purpose of the Student Council is to create a greater sense of responsibility, to promote understanding and respect between faculty and students, to develop citizenship and leadership, and to represent the student body in all phases of high school life. StuCo promotes school spirit and sponsors many school-wide activities, including football and basketball homecoming weeks, and Community support drives. The student body elects Student Body Officers, who are presiding officers of Student Council. Elections for all grade levels and student body officers are held in the spring. In addition to officers, general membership in Student Council is open to any student from all grade levels that participate in StuCo activities and pay dues of $10.
