“This group of student leaders will be crucial for setting the overall agenda for the Student Council and making sure that student voices are heard throughout the year!” wrote Steiger in the email. Steiger became the Dean of all Upper Schoolers in the start of the 2021-2022 academic year, is in charge of supervising the Student Council, replacing Ms.Hilary Hunt, now the assistant head of upper school. “We would really love to see competitive races for each of the offices and energy from all of you to support the leaders who will help shape the next year in Viewpoint’s Upper School!”

The board, which consists of the President, the Vice President, the Secretary, and the Treasurer meets with the administration weekly to communicate students concerns and need; it also hosts weekly student council meeting where the remaining council members (Elected at the start of the school year) will gather.
