"The National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed the Annual Conference of the Southern Association of Student Councils on the NASSP National Advisory List of Student Contests and Activities for 2007-2008."

What is the Southern Association of Student Councils?

SASC is an organization of member schools from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

SASC began in 1932 when Central High School in Memphis, Tennessee, invited several schools from Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas to participate in a conference to celebrate its 20^th year of student government.  Because of the success of that meeting, the attending schools decided to hold a meeting each year. Other schools were invited to send delegates, and thus the Southern Association of Student Councils was born.  Since 1932, member schools have served as hosts to the annual conference with the exception of the years  during World War II.

Although the structure of SASC has been modified in the years since 1932,
its goals remain to provide leadership training, practical experience in democratic principles, and an exchange of ideas.  Believing that we can not live in an isolated community, SASC continues to offer student leaders  a chance to grow through travel and shared experience.
