Council Recognition and Awards Overview
Your school must be a current member of TASC to participate in the school recognition program. For that reason, these pages are for members only.

TASC State Report Forms:
In an effort to uphold standards for the effective operation of local student councils and provide recognition for the outstanding work of student councils in Texas, the Texas Association of Student Councils sponsors a recognition program for member schools. Each TASC district president school is responsible for collecting and judging the completed report forms from schools in their district. President schools submit the names of schools achieving outstanding status in each area. Forms must be submitted at the district level. The deadline for submitting reports is set by each TASC district and usually varies, although mid-March is the most likely time. YOU MUST CHECK WITH THE TASC DISTRICT PRESIDENT FOR THESE DATES. The state office can only recognize those schools reported by districts. Individual forms are not accepted at the state office.
High Schools and Middle Level Schools receiving recognition in Outstanding Student Council (OSC), Pride and Patriotism (P&P), Energy and Environment (E&E) and Drugs, Alcohol, Safety and Health Issues, (D.A.S.H.) and also submit a Community Service Report will be named Sweepstakes Schools. High School and Middle Level School awards are mailed toward the end of the school year.
TASC recognizes individual projects organized by HS student councils and individual projects organized by ML student councils. Please note that there is an opportunity to apply for recognition as a "collaborative" project (one completed by more than one campus) as well as a submission by one council.
TASC recognizes the best individual videos submitted by HS student councils and individual videos submitted by ML student councils. All entries should be submitted to TASC via the TASC website by the annual due date. Select the link above to access the entry form. (Please note that there are opportunities for awards for a single campus or a "collaborative" video, one completed by more than one council.)
TASSP provides two $1,000 summer leadership workshop scholarships for individual high school student councils based on contributions to their principals in meeting school accountability measures, the demands of unfunded mandates, and the creation of a positive school culture and climate.
TASC provides one $1,000 summer leadership workshop scholarship for a middle level council based on contributions to their principals in meeting school accountability measures, the demands of unfunded mandates, and creation of a positive school culture and climate.
