The Louisiana Association of Student Councils held its annual workshop at Northwestern State University this week June 1-5. The meeting, held at NSU for the past 51 years, brought together 367 high school student leaders from every corner of Louisiana for a week of fun, leadership development, and education.
The student council members were divided into small groups with whom they would spend the week, making friends from all over Louisiana. The students learn the ins and outs of running successful meetings, achieving goals as well as developing leadership skills. St. Mary’s and NCHS both sent strong contingents of student leaders who well represented our community.
The LASC members also got to hear a book talk from author and life sciences teacher Madi Hannan, who spoke about her new book “Scrim on the Run”. Ms. Hannan teaches at New Orlean’s Mt. Carmel Academy and is an advisor for LASC.
Next week will see 189 middle school students who serve on their schools’ student councils arrive at NSU for a week of fun and learning.
Attending from NCHS were London Braxtun, Chanler Jordan, Brilee Metoyer, Ashlyn Broadway, Jaxon Harrell, and Jade Barfield. St. Mary’s was represented by Tyonnah Burton. Also pictured is LASC Staff member, and future NSU musical theater major, Beau Bernard.
The Natchitoches Parish Journal wishes all the best to these hard working young men and women as they complete their high school careers. We hope you learned a lot and enjoyed the university’s hospitality. Come back to NSU after your graduation and build your future!
