The Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP), through their Annual Convention Raffle, provides scholarships for the MASC/MAHS Summer Leadership Camps. These scholarships will be awarded to student council or honor society students interested in attending one of the camps that exhibit a financial need. The principal, council or chapter must be a member of MASSP, MASC or MAHS, respectively. Eligible and interested students must submit a completed Applicant Overview Form (see page 2), including personal and adviser essays, in order to be considered for a scholarship. No more than two students from a school will be awarded scholarships.

The Michigan Associations of Student Councils and Honor Societies lost a dear friend in February 2007. Mr. Jack Kalousek taught and advised at Franklin High School (Livonia, Michigan) for 12 years and was serving as their Student Activities' Director. He was passionate about student leadership and providing students opportunities to grow. His involvement at the local, state and national level was matched by very few advisers in Michigan.. He was well-known, respected, loved and treasured by advisers and students throughout Michigan and he will be dearly missed.

The MASC & MAHS Board consists of about 25 students from around the state of Michigan that work together to make MASC/MAHS the strong, student-focused organization that it is. Each year elections are done according to the bylaws of the Associations. Students interested in learning more about the Board and the application process should read through the attachments at the bottom of this page.

Each school year, six or seven MASC Board positions are up for re-election and all twelve MAHS Board positions are up for re-selection. The MASC Board also appoints a number of Middle Level Representatives to the board each school year. All of the information you need is contained in the packets attached to this page.

Student Councils are heavily supported and guided by advisers in the schools. It is important that students have the opportunity to recognize these influential men and women. MASC recognizes one outstanding middle school adviser and high school adviser from each of the 12 Centers, then out of those award recipients, chooses one that stands out above the rest and honors him or her as the State Adviser of the Year. The State Adviser of the Year is then submitted to the National Adviser of the Year program sponsored by NASC. The Center and State Adviser are selected by the MASC Board of Delegates.
