The Westbury High School Student Council exists to promote civic responsibility, leadership, scholarship, and human relations within the student body. Student Council serves three distinct functions: legislation, service and spirit ambassadors.

The legislative purpose of the STUCO is as follows:

·         To represent the interests of the entire student body

·         To review and respond to feedback of the student body

·         To create bodies amongst its membership when necessary to achieve general and specific goals of the council

The service purpose of the STUCO is as follows:

·         To provide aid to the students, the school and the community

·         To host school functions which may include, but are not limited to fundraisers, dances, and teacher appreciation

·         To sponsor a number of community service activities, in a manner which brings the school and community closer together as a whole

The spirit ambassador purpose of the STUCO is as follows:

·         Encourage students to initiate and participate in school affairs

·         Promote activities and programs that provide opportunities for as many students to become involved as possible

·         Develop within the individual student a sense of responsibility for conduct and behavior

·         Promote healthy attitudes toward school against which Westbury competes

·         Foster pride in the appearance of school buildings and grounds

·         Create harmonious relationships between faculty and students

·         Conduct and regulate all school campaigns, elections, and installations of student council members.
