MIAMI PALMETTO SENIOR HIGH’S STUDENT COUNCIL NAMED
NATIONAL GOLD COUNCIL OF EXCELLENCE

Miami Palmetto Senior High School’s student council recently was named a National Gold Council of Excellence by the National Association of Student Councils (NASC).  Palmetto was among 190 high schools across the nation, one of nine in the state and the only school in Miami-Dade County Public Schools to be chosen for the honor.

The National Gold Council of Excellence is awarded to student councils that demonstrate the highest levels of leadership and activities, as illustrated by meeting all “Required Standards” and a greater number of “Additional Standards.”

The NASC National Council of Excellence Award provides national recognition for student councils that consistently provide quality leadership activities and service to their schools and communities, and introduce young students to leadership roles. This award provides broader recognition for the most notable efforts of NASC member councils.

For more information, contact Dr. Allison Harley, Principal of Palmetto High, at 305-235-1360.
