Student Advisory Council

The CSF Student Advisory Council (“SAC” or “club”) at Horace Greeley High School (HGHS) began during the 2014-2015 school year as a way to include and amplify student voices within CSF’s work. This student-run, advisory group now operates as an official Greeley club with a dedicated student leadership team, overseen by a Greeley faculty advisor and the CSF Board member serving as the CSF SAC Committee Chair. The club includes a diverse group of students from all grades at Greeley, who lend their perspectives and inputs to the club’s bi-weekly meetings and ongoing work.  The leadership team is made up of dedicated, long-time CSF SAC members who plan and run the club meetings, oversee all club activities and supervise and assist groups working on projects outside of club hours.
