The South Carolina Governor's School for Science & Mathematics

Leadership opportunities abound at GSSM.

Students are alway encouraged to step forward and strengthen their leadership skills. Since the clubs and societies are "student driven," and every student at GSSM can be a leader in some way. Students may choose initiate a new club, serve as an officer, be an active member, attend student council meetings, become a natural helper or ambassador. There is something for everyone as the opportunities are limitless.

Some students get very involved in Residence Life activities. These student leaders take on a more informal (but very important) role by assisting the Residence Life staff with programming ideas and maintaining a safe, comfortable, clean residence hall environment that is also conducive to studying. These student leaders may also help create an educational bulletin board, call a floor meeting to discuss a concern or just rally the floor together to perform a community service project.

 

All in all, at a residential high school, there are not only many ways to be a leader, but students are also expected to assume a leadership role in some capacity so that everyone has a fun and successful school year.
