Whitehall-Coplay students report conference wins, celebrate football district title

Maya Williams, the student council representative, summarized recent high school activities at the Whitehall-Coplay School District board meeting on Nov. 24, saying the school hosted events and trips this month and noting the football team’s run to a district championship against Pocono Mountain East. "We were so proud of them," Williams told the board, listing student recognitions and upcoming events.

Students who attended the Pennsylvania Association of Student Councils (PASC) state conference described professional development and leadership takeaways. Hope Warren, vice president of student council, said the convention provided opportunities to "learn new ideas" to bring back to the district, and adviser Miss Radon was recognized as PASC Adviser of the Year. The board and superintendent praised students and staff, and the district plans to host the PASC regional conference in March.

The superintendent also noted student-led community service efforts: a Thanksgiving food drive organized by student council and junior honor society provided meal baskets to families in need. Board members thanked volunteers and community partners who supported students' extracurricular and service activities.

The district played a short wrap-up video of conference highlights and the board extended formal thanks to students, advisers and participating staff. The meeting then proceeded to routine agenda items.
