How does one become a part of the SALC?

In the spring of each year there is an application process, in addition to school wide SALC officer and class officer elections. The students select a position they are interested in and panel to become a part of the SALC Leadership class for the upcoming school year. Stonewall Jackson teachers, students, and school administrators conduct the interviews. All students are welcome to attend and participate in SALC activities by attending SALC meetings held after school every other Tuesday in the SALC room on the first floor.

What positions are available within the SALC?

Elected Officers are SALC President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Historian. Some examples of the SALC appointed positions are Faculty Relations Officer, Community Relations Officer, Boys and Girls Athletic Commissioners, Elections Officers, and Public Relations Officers. There are a total of eighteen appointed positions, although more than one student may serve as Co-Officer for a given year.

What types of Activities does the SALC promote and organize?

The SALC hosts school Dances, including all of the activities involving Homecoming. The SALC is also highly involved in the One of Us program to welcome freshmen and new students to Stonewall at the beginning of each year. Service projects such as the SALC Food Drive and various community projects, such as decorating the Senior Center for the Holidays are also part of the SALC Leadership course activities. The SALC recognizes teacher, students, and athletes through our SALC PRIDE student and teacher recognition program. The SALC also represents student's interests on the Local School Planning Council, and attends PTSO and other meetings representing the student body as a whole. Many of these activities are continuous throughout the school year.

What else should I know about the SALC?

The SALC presently consists of 32 students in the SALC Leadership class and a total of approximately 70 students in the SALC organization. Ms. Schlatter, who teaches the SALC Leadership class, sponsors the SALC. In addition, a faculty sponsor, who works in conjunction to promote and organize both individual class and school wide activities, sponsors each class.
