Honor Council

These criteria will be used to judge scrapbooks and determine Honor Councils beginning in August 1, 1996. The IASC Advisory
Board revised this set of criteria on June 2006.


Purpose
The Honor Council program of the Iowa Association of Student Councils is designed to recognize Student Councils who present evidence of having an effective and progressive council organization in a variety of areas.
High schools must receive a minimum number of points (80) in order to be recognized by the Iowa Student Council Leadership Conference and to receive an award designating the council as “Honor Council”. High Schools receiving 95-100 points will be designated as “Honor Council with Meritorious Distinction”. Schools not earning the designated points will receive a certificate of participation from the scrapbook judges by mail.
