National Student Council

National Student Council (NatStuCo)

Since 1931, the goal of the National Student Council (NatStuCo) has been to help all student councils become more effective organizations. NatStuCo represents middle level and high school councils nationwide. It seeks to provide a valuable leadership partnership between students and their school. It creates an opportunity for students to become effective leaders, thus encouraging and influencing a positive school climate.  NatStuCo is a program of the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
