Student Council
Palmer Ridge High School's Student Council works to better the school community at Palmer Ridge while focusing on a positive leadership curriculum. We use our school events, such as dances, spirit projects, and philanthropic programs, as a way to learn the process and value of leadership. The Council is organized into five committees that each tackle various areas of leadership at our school, each led by an elected Chair who is in charge of that committee and its members. The Presidents lead the Council by overseeing the work of the committees, running the class time, and providing communication between the students, faculty, administration, and parents of Palmer Ridge. Our students are dedicated to our school as well as their own opportunity to learn about and practice becoming better leaders; here at Palmer Ridge as well as in their futures.
