On December 18, 2024, Woodland High School held its annual Student Council Induction Ceremony, a proud tradition recognizing the dedication and leadership of students who will represent their peers in the coming year. The event brought together parents, friends, educators, and family members to celebrate the installation of the school’s Student Body Officers and Class Officers.
Michael Samson, the long-standing advisor to the Woodland High School Student Council, reflected on the group’s evolution over the past seven years. “The tremendous growth of our Student Council has been remarkable. They’re not just planning and leading more events, activities, and fundraisers than ever before; they’ve become a dynamic team that works seamlessly together to serve their school and community,” Samson shared.
The ceremony highlighted the council's mission through the recital of two powerful oaths: the Student Body Officer and Class Officer’s Oath of Office and the Pledge of the Student Senate.
