Student Council

Keaukaha Elementary Student Council was organized to provide opportunities for students in grades 3-6 to participate in activities that build leadership, responsibility, and a sense of participation in the community and school. There are four elected officers: President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. These officers provide the core of leadership with the assistance of one representative from each classroom, grades 4-6.

Students become acquainted with the election process and work together on selected projects. These activities include the Spirit Week and various holiday activities to promote school pride within the school.
