MASON CITY — For its exemplary record of leadership, service, and activities that serve to improve the school and community, the Mason City Student Senate has been recognized as a 2022 National Gold Council of Excellence by the National of Student Council (NatStuCo). The NatStuCo program is supported by its parent organization, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
“Receiving a National Gold Council of Excellence Award shows the utmost dedication a school’s students, leaders, and staff have made to making their community a better place,” said NASSP CEO Ronn Nozoe. “Mason City High has gone above and beyond in elevating student voice to ensure they are establishing a positive climate and culture, as well as fostering academic and social growth for all.”
“We have long suspected that we could qualify for this achievement, but it has taken us several years to actually follow through with the work required to get there. I’m incredibly proud of my student leaders.” Laura Grommesh, Advisor
To meet the requirements for the National Gold Council of Excellence Award, a student council must meet a variety of criteria. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings, a democratic election process, the councils have demonstrated successful sponsorship and participation in activities such as leadership development and service to the school and community.

Good for them. They have shown leadership especially in the mascot change. They withstood the Save the Name group’s bullying and lying.
