National Student Leadership Week - April 18-24

Each year during the third week in April, NASC, along with the National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) invite schools to recognize and celebrate their student leaders during National Student Leadership Week.

This year’s theme, Step Up to Safety: Student Leaders Working for Safe Schools and Communities, is so important that a single week is just too short to properly address it. That’s why we invite you to join us as we celebrate National Student Leadership Week throughout the school year.

As part of our expanded efforts to address this critical issue, we invite your student councils and Honor Society chapters to plan and sponsor activities reflecting the theme and to report their activities to the national office. In April, we will help you celebrate your safety initiatives and leadership efforts with our special National Student Leadership Week resources. Additional resources and our annual poster will be included in the March issue of Leadership for Student Activities magazine.

Remember…safety in schools and communities is not just about violence. Being safe means being prepared for disasters and emergencies.

It means using safe driving practices and making the right choices when confronted with drugs and alcohol. It means having safe, healthy relationships with family and friends. It means going to school without having the threat of being ridiculed, humiliated, or physically bullied. And it means staying safe when using the Internet and being free from cyberbullying and predators.

Make your schools and communities safer. Take the challenge and Step Up to Safety!
