A student council is a group of students who work together to help with school activities and affairs, and to give students a voice in the school community:

Activities
- Student councils plan events, organize service projects, and work on other activities to promote school spirit and community welfare. They may also be involved in promoting citizenship, scholarship, human relations, and cultural values.
