Redmond High became one of 21 high schools in the state to be recognized for its high-achieving leadership program.

Redmond won a Gold Council Award at the OASC Spring Leadership Conference on April 27. The award, sponsored by the Oregon Association of Student Councils, sets standards for student councils and leadership programs and honors them if they can reach or exceed them.

In order to receive the award, programs must create and encourage activities that promote inclusivity among all students at the school and provide events that include a variety of different areas and disciplines. They must also demonstrate that they are gaining valuable leadership and professional skills that they can take with them outside of school.

“The programs awarded this level of recognition have exhibited how their student leaders show an incredible level of commitment to servant leadership,” said Miles Palacios, OSAC director. “They have included their peers in school activities, developed and implemented impactful events for their community, and maintained a positive and creative approach to improving their school environment.”
