The Mississippi State Association of Student Councils Honor Council Award recognizes outstanding

councils, advisors, and council members through a criterion-based process. All MSASC member schools are

eligible to apply for this award.

A Student Council recognized as a Honor Council of Excellence receives recognition, including an official

letter and certificate from Mississippi State Association of Student Council. MSASC presents a plaque with

year bar to first-time winners. In subsequent years, recipients receive a year bar for the plaque. A press

release is included that schools can use with local media to announce and explain the recognition that has

been bestowed on their student councils. A letter is sent to the school superintendent to recognize Council,

advisor, Council members, and school principal.

A scholarship of $500.00 is awarded to a  graduating senior during the state conference.

Nominees for Advisor of the Year must have an endorsement from their student council president to qualify for this competition.
