For years Hants East Rural High has had a council led by student-elected executives. Executives that represent you, and your voice. This year the administration has taken that away and replaced it with a "Leadership team". This team is led by teachers, not students. Students are being asked to do all the jobs of an executive council member (ie. plan, volunteer, participate) without receiving the recognition we deserve for our hard work, time, and dedication to making the school a positive place. Teachers have taken over the jobs that were previously earned by student leaders in past years. This is unfair treatment to the students who have made the effort and shown leadership on the student council. The student council has played an important role in the lives of every student at HERH. It is a positive, inclusive, and accepting environment for students to find friendship, leadership, and most importantly find themselves. Help us bring it back!
