Welcome to the Hillsborough Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council (SSAC)
Congratulations! You have been selected to represent your school on the Hillsborough Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council (SSAC) for the upcoming year. This is not just an honor—it’s an opportunity to lead, collaborate, and create meaningful change across our district.
What This Role Means
Being part of the SSAC is more than holding a title. It’s about earning the role of leader through authentic engagement, consistent effort, and a commitment to truly being a representative voice for you school. You will have the chance to:
- Lead impactful projects and programs at your school
- Collaborate with peers across the district
- Engage directly with district leadership and the Alliance for Public Schools
- Gain real-world leadership experience that is both prestigious and transformative
You will be expected to:
- Attend every meeting. If you must miss one, coordinate with your school’s other representative to stay informed and up to date.
- Be a voice for students. You’ll work with the superintendent and district leaders to explore how policies and programs affect students and school culture.
- Practice good communication. Meet regularly with your principal and school staff. Share insights from SSAC and help connect district-level conversations to your school community.
You will get out of this experience what you choose to put into it. Your voice matters, and your actions will contribute to how student leadership is integrated into the decision making process in Hillsborough County Public Schools.
