Honors and Awards
The Brooklawn Student Council is an active
member of the National Association of Student Councils (NASC) and the
New Jersey Association of Student Councils (NJASC), participating in their annual Leadership Training Conference (LTC) as well as other events. In August 2006, our Advisor Mr. Lou Miller became an Executive Director for the NJASC, and works together with Mrs. Wendy Booth-Sitzler of Palmyra High School to advise the State Officers and administrate our state Student Council association. Mrs. Alison Franz, a former Brooklawn student, now also serves as co-advisor. Each year, Mr. Miller selects administrative assistants for NJASC that are former Brooklawn Student Council Executives who assist with the current Brooklawn Executive Board.
Over the past two decades, the Brooklawn Student Council has earned numerous honors and awards at both the State and National level:
