For its exemplary record of leadership and service to the school and community, Flagler Palm Coast High School’s Student Government Association has been recognized as a 2023 National Gold Council of Excellence by the National Student Council, according to a press release.
“Exceptional student councils are a hallmark of exceptional schools,” said Ronn Nozoe, the CEO of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, which is the National Student Council's parent organization. “The Flagler Palm Coast High School council has taken student leadership to the next level, creating a culture promoting scholarship and citizenship that resonates far beyond their team. I’m delighted to recognize their hard work with the National Gold Council of Excellence Award for their commitment to service, leadership and uplifting the voices of their peers.”
A student council must meet a variety of criteria to earn the National Council of Excellence Award. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings and a democratic election process, the councils must have demonstrated successful sponsorship and participation in activities such as leadership development and service to the school and community.
FPC Principal Bobby Bossardet said he was not surprised by the award.
“Our Student Government Association models exceptional student leadership and portrays all the true characteristics of what it means to be a Bulldog,” Bossardet said. “We are extremely proud of this recognition and look forward to watching them continue to set the standard for student leadership in public education.”
FPC was also named a Gold Medallion Council at the Florida Association of Student Councils’ state conference. FPC placed third in the Parliamentary Procedure Competition, second in Faculty and Staff with Autumn Adventure, second in Community with the Share Table Project, first place in the Technology Project with Why FPC SGA, first place in Citizenship Development with Dude. Be nice and first place in School Service with the Literacy Week project.
At the Southern Association of Student Councils Conference, FPC placed in all projects that were submitted — one in first place, three in second place, and one in third place. FPC’s student council has successfully created and implemented 92 projects this past school year.
