Queen Courtney Brill, who stands first in the Senior Class, was unanimously elected as President of the Wellston City School Board of Education during Student Government Day on September 7. Under the guidance of Superintendent Dan Brisker and Treasurer Brenda Hill, these well prepared students leapt right into the roles of Board members and Administrators. They held an organizational meeting, elected leaders, administered oaths of office, made committee assignments, tackled financial matters, set the schedule of meetings for the year, accepted a resignation, granted a leave of absence, and awarded contracts. Seniors Tackle Problems Faced By Wellston Council One of the most interesting aspects of Coal Festival is that many Seniors get a real taste of local policy making during Student Government Day on Friday. Students are teamed with real-life counterparts to gain a deeper understanding of how the community works.
Adults give up their time to pass on their observations and experiences.
Pictured are participants in the mock City Council meeting. What a great game, at least WHS won a close one. The sad part was it was Waverly, not Wellston. The Rockets did just about everything to win a game, except finish and make extra points. This cost the Rockets dearly, how much we will not know until the end of the season.
