Student Senate

What can YOU do to get involved?

Students complain every day about nearly every aspect of high school: their classes and schedules, the food policy, what's unfair and unjust. Instead of complaining: do something about it! You could be a part of a huge effort to increase student involvement in the MMSD. 

Student Senate is in the process of restructuring the role of students in our district. Our goal is for every school to have an operating student council, which communicates with Student Senate: kind of like a Student Council, but with members from all of Madison's High schools. Student Senate will serve as a forum for students to express their opinions and concerns, which will be discussed and presented to the school board. 

Student Senate is a great opportunity to get involved in your school district and your community, as well as a hot item for a college resume. Plus, with fun people and pizza and soda at every meeting, it's a blast. 

Everyone's invited. We meet every other tuesday, for an hour and a half. It's a small commitment to make a big difference.
