The Student Leadership Council is a group of students who strive to show excellence and influence others to do so as well. The council is planning to organize a student store to provide all Saegertown students with merchandise.

“We’re planning on designing some shirts that are affordable and able to be worn by all students. We felt like only athletes had spirit wear and those that didn’t play sports didn’t have any Saegertown clothes, so we want to change that,” junior Scout Van Cise said. The group of students is focusing on the idea of “You wish you were a Saegertown Panther” brought up by Mr. Greg Molnar to encourage unity throughout the school at the Homecoming Assembly.

“I wish to achieve a good school environment where everyone is comfortable and happy,” freshman Carmen Kantz said.

“As an advisor, I want to encourage and assist the students,” Mr. Phil Young said.

The active members of the Student Leadership Council are: juniors Scout Van Cise, Hunter Trzeciak , Megan Przyborowski, Ryan Peters, and Olivia Hoffman, sophomores Mikayla Balog, and Eli Draa, freshman Karly Price, Lauren Haylett, Carmen Kantz, and Nick Archacki, eighth graders Kyle Hanaway, Jane Hetrick, and Ava Jones, and seventh graders Landon Caldwell, Kat Diesing, Andy Rockwell, and Jillian Turner. They are advised by Mr. Phil Young and Mrs. Heather Patton.
