STUCO's Events in 2023-2024

Club Fair x Inside Scoop: 8/18/23
This event turned out awesome this year, and we had a great turn out. Students enjoyed delicious ice cream, while viewing all of the clubs (including some new ones) that GSMST offers. STUCO was so pleased to be apart of this, and helping increase the student participation in clubs.

Welcome Back Week: 8/7/23 - 8/11/23
WBW was a hit, especially with the Music-Focused Themes for the week. STUCO created several activities during lunch with specific genres of music accompanying each event. Students felt engaged (as seen in the video) by dancing, competing in musical chairs, and singing while sharing their GSMST pride with their friends. We are happy to see the joy on everyone's faces!

WHAt IS NATSTUCO?

GASC

The Georgia Association of Student Councils (GASC) is an organization that brings together all the student governments from high schools and middle schools across the state, and is a great opportunity for students to grow their leadership skills and bring back good ideas to their own school. GASC helps with many charities every year, such as Bert's Big Adventure, a charity that takes terminally ill children to Disneyland. Each year, Student Councils around Georgia take up fundraising projects and send proceeds to the charity of their choice.

In the years past, GSMST has had the chance to operate as the District 1 representatives, giving our Student Council the opportunity to guide the largest district in the state of Georgia. We hosted a leadership summit at our school in order to raise money for charity, grow leadership skills for all attending, and improve the Georgia high school community.
