Student Voice Matters
Intoducing SILC which stands for
Student Innovation Leadership Committee.
The student voice is powerful when heard. Here at South Hills, we want our student to know that their best interest is always at the forefront of every decision made regarding our campus. The forming of SILC allows for students to represented by a group who will be given a platform to voice innovation and change necessary to make South Hills the most forward thinking, future ready, student centered campus around.
SILC will play an active role in leading Teen Panel discussions around topics of Digital Citizenship, College Readiness, Digital Equity, among others. SILC will also represent South Hills in the Social Media space as Student Voice advocates. This will provide opportunities for the group to collaborate with other student leadership organizations across the region to create opportunities for change.
SILC will combine the student leadership groups already in existence on campus, including Senior Class Officers, AVID offices and National Honor Society along with teacher recommended individuals from various grade levels.
