Rigby Middle School Student Council

GO TROJANS!

What is Student Council?

Our Student Council is the organization responsible for leading the student body in school and community activities. STUCO members choose to be involved in this organization because they want to make a difference at our school!

When do we meet?

There are large group meetings once a month before/after school. These meetings are MANDATORY and they are for everyone in STUCO! Executive Board (President, VP, Secretary, Committee Chairs) meet 1-2 additional times a month. There are various other times during the year where ALL MEMBERS meet with your assigned committee to plan events, decorate the school, paint signs, etc. These other meetings happen during the school day (before/after school, FLEX, and/or lunch).
