Student Council
The North Shore Student Council is considered very fun among many students involved with it. The Student Council focuses on helping the school, community, and people, while having fun along the way. An experienced Student Council advisor leads this "always helping" organization of advanced Middle School students.
The student council has nine committees: Button, Birthday, Dance Decoration, Publicity, Service, Spirit, Thank You/Awards, Pep, and Staff Appreciation. All of these committees meet about 1–2 days a week in a before school meeting, lasting about 25 minutes. The Button Committee makes buttons for Silent Shamrock and Hush Heart Day. The Birthday committee posts students' birthdays on the monthly school calendar and adds creative symbols. The Dance Decoration committee decorates the school monthly and before dances. The Publicity committee makes posters of upcoming events and writes announcements for events in the school and reads them over the public announcement system. In the Service committee, students engage in projects to help the community, such as blood drives and fund raisers. The Spirit committee makes spirit day posters, and displays them throughout the school to encourage students to participate in spirit days. In the Thank you/Awards committee, students write thank you cards and provide gifts to teachers who chaperone school events. The Pep committee works with the Spirit committee to get the student body excited about school events. In Staff Appreciation, the students make a monthly gift expressing their appreciation to teachers.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or council:
“One must be a student before one can be a teacher.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of England’s Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstain’d with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
