Student Council at TCCA

Tri-City Christian Academy's Student Council is open to students in grades 9 through 12.

We desire to build Micah 6:8 leaders, who impact their community by showing others what it means to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. These student-leaders are not conformed by the things of this world or want to exalt themselves above others. Instead, they show what true leadership looks like by serving others and exalting God above all else.

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? – Micah 6:8

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. – Romans 12:9-12 NIV

The following four tenets of student council outline our program: leadership, service, voice, and engagement.

Leadership

Members of Student Council are expected to set a positive example for others to follow. By participating in Student Council, students have the opportunity to develop and expand their leadership knowledge and skills.

Service

An effective student council should strive to care for their school and community through volunteerism. Volunteerism should not be limited to Student Council members; the Student Council should create opportunities for the student body to serve their school and community.

Voice

Student Council is the voice of the student body and it should serve as the link between the students and the school. Student Council members should create opportunities for every member of the student body to voice their opinions.

Engagement

Student Council should sponsor activities, projects, and events that include the entire student body. Student Council should make every student feel welcome and a part of school life.
