Since its founding in 2019, the student members of HSSC and their faculty sponsor, Susan Gotthelf, have strived to provide service to the school and greater community, through initiatives like the Charity Run to raise funds for children to continue their high school education, and the book donation project for children in Qinghai province. Within the school environment, we have created cherished community traditions such as the Halloween dance party, the holiday candy-cane sale, and the annual variety show. Following the NASC tenet of “amplifying student voice,” we launched the free period product initiative and annual Women’s Day exhibitions, inspiring students and teachers to reflect together on how to create a more equitable society. Our forums enable students to express their ideas constructively, contributing to meaningful dialogues.
