Washington Association of Student Councils
(WASC)

The Washington Association of Student Councils is a member
organization open to both middle level and high schools. Member
schools receive discounts on programs sponsored by Washington Student
Leadership and many other benefits, including subscriptions to the
electronic newsletter, In the Loop, and the issue-driven print
newsletter, The Leader.
Since its inception in the 1960s, the WASC Board has been a voice
for high school students in Washington. By organizing a Local
Association of Student Councils (LASC), you become eligible for
representation. With its connection to students through a network
of LASCs across the state, the WASC Board is an
important stakeholder in the state's educational community as
well as the national student leadership community. Additionally,
the student representatives on the State Board of Education are selected
by and serve on the WASC Board.
A current student-engagement project endorsed by the WASC Board is
the Raising Student Voice and Participation
(RSVP) program. The RSVP program is sponsored
by the National Association of Student Councils and the National
Association of Secondary School Principals. The popular program uses
democratic dialogue to give students a chance to speak out and take
action on issues in their schools and communities that are important to
them.
In past years, the WASC Board has partnered with other
organizations on statewide issues and initiatives. With the Office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction, the WASC Board co-created a
student-led information campaign designed to engage freshmen in
meaningful dialogue about their education. When a rash of
unsportsmanlike conduct rippled through the state, the Washington
Interscholastic Activities Association approached the WASC Board for
solutions. To improve school climate in public schools, the WASC
Board co-sponsored a Diversity Summit with the
Washington State School Directors' Association. Additionally,
the WASC Board sponsors the WASC Conference, an annual
statewide leadership workshop for high school student leaders and
advisers.

The WASC Board's 2011-12
Partnership with Special Olympics Washington for
Project UNIFY®, Create A Better World
Project
UNIFY® is a state-wide initiative from Special Olympics
Washington to develop school communities that are inclusive and
accepting of everyone. A keystone project is Unified Sports where
individuals with and without intellectual disabilities compete together
on a sport team. The Washington Association of Student Councils has
formed a unique partnership with Special Olympics Washington. The
partnership kick-off event was held at the WASC Conference at West
Valley High on October 15-17.
