Student Council

The High School Student Council was established to give the students of Learning Prep School the fullest possible exposure to the fundamentals of democracy. Students are involved in an electoral process similar to that of our government. Teachers and therapists at the beginning of the school year nominate students. Nominees then conduct campaigns and run for an office. The goal of Student Council is to foster leadership, independence, initiative, and enthusiasm among all LPS students. Student Council provides bake sales, community service projects, and theme dress-up days during school hours.

The High School Student Council also sponsors events that enable the students to develop and cultivate social skills in a safe and fun environment. These after school or evening activities include theme dances, a bowling event, and all High School Prom. The annual prom is held at various locations in the Boston area each year and is open to any High School student in Grades 10-12. The Student Council also co-sponsors with SADD events such as a night at an athletic club, and support for the school recycling program.

The 8th Graders are involved in all in-school Student Council activities but have their own after-school or evening activities. The 8th Graders are unable to attend High School evening functions.
