Southern Association of Student Councils Conference
SASC Conference News
South Carolina represented well at the Southern Association of Student Councils Conference this past October in Ocoee, Florida. The theme of the conference was “Leadership, Inc.” and more than 150 SCASC delegates and advisors attended. The delegates attended workshops, listened to keynote speakers, Judson Laipply, Mike Smith and Kyle Scheele, and even learned a history of dance routine. The schools represented at the conference include Cane Bay High, Crescent High, Laurens District 55 High, Airport High, Westwood High, Blythewood High, Richland Northeast High, Ridge View High, Chapin High, Easley High, Clover High, Wando High, and Wade Hampton High.
South Carolina schools represented well during the conference. Wade Hampton High School was elected SASC secretary. Two South Carolina schools presented workshops. Several SC advisors served as project judges and South Carolina schools won awards in many project categories. Matthew Fortner from Crescent High School was awarded the highest honor for a SASC student, and Jami Reese Darling, from Laurens District 55 High School received an SASC prestigious scholarship. We are so proud of the work our student councils do and are delighted these students and schools were recognized at the conference. See the list of winners below.
Remember that the Southern Conference will be at Cane Bay High School in Summerville, SC in October, 2018. We look forward to supporting Cane Bay High as host for this conference in South Carolina! Advisors and students should go ahead and start making plans to attend and participate.
