For the 5th consecutive year, Valley View Student Council has been recognized by the Texas Association of Student Councils (TASC) as a Sweepstakes Council. This includes outstanding achievement in leadership, service, and activities that serve to improve the school and community. Sweepstakes councils must be recognized as an Outstanding Student Council and receive outstanding recognition in Drugs, Alcohol, Safety and Health (DASH); Pride and Patriotism; and Energy and Environment as well as submitting a Community Service Report. TASC has over 1100 member schools. Of those, Valley View is one of only 278 student councils statewide to receive this highly-esteemed honor.
Student Council members develop proven skills in team building, problem solving, project planning, and decision making. Through their co-curricular activities, student council members serve their communities while strengthening their academic and civic skills.
