STUDENT LEADERSHIP
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. I Timothy 4:12
Each year, students are evaluated by the administration in areas of Godly character, conduct, and academic achievement. Students who show exemplary conduct in these areas may take part in the campaign for Student Council.
​
Students learn about democracy by earning votes from their peers through campaign slogans, debates, posters, and speeches.
​
Those selected for Student Council take on various responsibilities and projects throughout the year such as leading fundraisers, selecting extra-curricular activities, and putting the ideas of their fellow classmen into practice.
"In my years at Praise Temple, I realized that it wasn't just a school, but a family.
Each student is cherished and loved by the teachers like one of their own.
It doesn't matter what your strengths or weaknesses might be, you are accepted
for who you are because you are fearfully and wonderfully made."
