CONGRATULATIONS CHS STUDENT COUNCIL – HONOR COUNCIL AWARD!
Chaffee High School Student Council was recognized as an Honor Council School at the State Student Council Convention which was held on March 19-21. This award was established to honor Student Councils that have a comprehensive program that promotes student activities and student leadership.
The Honor Council Award is the highest honor that Missouri Association of Student Councils bestows upon one of its members. This was a goal for both the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 members. They worked on achieving this goal from January 2025 - December 2025. This is the first time Chaffee High School has received this award!
Chaffee StuCo would like to thank our students, staff, school, and community who support all of the StuCo activities. Without this constant support of StuCo’s activities, this award would not have been possible.
This recognition is a direct result of this ongoing support and is a reflection of the amazing students, staff, and community that we have. We are so grateful for everyone’s support!
– Mrs. Swinford, Mrs. Knutson, and Chaffee StuCo
