High School Student Council
One of the longest running and most prominent student organizations at Hsinchu American School is our High School Student Council. The council consists of 4 Executive Officers - our President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. Grade level representatives are also elected
into the council annually. The council follows a self-developed Constitution and works towards improving student life, promoting school spirit, developing new school events, organizing annual school events and activities, managing the student store and the student activities funds.
Working in close collaboration with our Student Council, are our Student Activities and Community Service organizations. Chairs of each committee are also elected officials. The Student Activities committee is responsible for organizing school-wide events such as Homecoming and Prom, holiday parties, club fairs, sports day and school BBQ’s. The Community Service committee plans volunteer opportunities for students to earn community service hours, which are a graduation requirement at HAS. The committee also plans numerous fundraising events throughout the year and donates funds to several charities.
Middle School Student Council
Middle School Student Council is a club for our younger members of HAS. We help plan the middle school activities and events and we organize them! We have a lot of fun working together to plan the best activities that we can bring to teachers and students. We try to make the students’ semesters more fun and help them all to work together! According to Ikuno Sasaki, “This club is important because middle schoolers can show their school spirit and we can improve our school life!” Based on what Vicky Hsu said, “During club time, we test our limits of creativity through discussion and teamwork. Sometimes we even vote to make decisions which can improve our speaking and thinking skills!”
The Middle School Community Service invites students in grades 5-8 to join and plan service projects. MSCS is a great way to have fun and get involved in the community! Some events that we have completed are Nursing Home visits, garbage pick up in the Art Park and the 30 Hour Famine!
