Taylorville High School’s Student Council takes charge of organizing several school events throughout the year.  Many of them are meant specifically for students, while others welcome the community as a whole.  Events already this school year include Homecoming and “SnowCo,” their name for the winter ball.  They are now preparing to host a state convention of high school student councils. 

Gabby Mireles is the president of the Student Council.  She says the convention will feature leadership workshops, motivational speakers, and lots of networking. 

Mireles has been on the Student Council each of her four years at the school, working her way up the ladder in a variety of roles.  As president, she works with many other members and advisors to carry out her duties.

Serving as president and her other various roles in the Student Council has helped Mireles develop a variety of leadership skills.  Notably, she had been reluctant at first to take on these opportunities.

Mireles is set to attend Lincoln Land Community College directly after high school.  She hopes to then transfer to a four-year university, all in pursuit of becoming a registered nurse.

More information on the THS Student Council is available on their Facebook and Instagram pages.  More information on Taylorville High School is available at ths.tcusd3.org.
