Paris District High School
The Students' Council is an elected body of students from every grade who plan and oversee a variety of social and other school-based activities throughout the year. These include dances, BBQ lunches, and spirit weeks / dress up days; the annual August "Welcome to High School" orientation at the end of August; Grade 9 Day in September; activities and contests related to Hallowe'en, Christmas/other December holidays, and Valentine's Day; and a variety of other "Fun Days" staged throughout the school calendar. The Council manages a sizable annual budget used to fund these activities, as well as to subsidize school trips, provide monies for school clubs, offset bus and equipment costs for sports teams, et cetera.
The Students' Council operates according to an inherited, generations-old Constitution outlining the duties and responsibilities of each elected member of Council: the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister; Secretary; Social Convenor; Publicity Director and Assistant PD; Treasurer; Specialized Services Rep; Indigenous Rep; and two Grade Reps from each of Grades 9 - 12.
The PDHS Student Council is an important element of creating student activities and events during the school year. If you are interested in playing a role toward improving student life at PDHS, seek out opportunities to lead as part of our Student Council.
