Each class elects a Class Commander to organize and represent its members. The NROTC has a COR Commander who instills discipline and leadership among its cadets. Different clubs and organizations, which enrich student life, have their own leaders as well. In the High School department, Clan Leaders promote a sense of belonging and camaraderie among students. These leadership opportunities allow students to hone their skills and make positive contributions to the community. The Midway Student Council, however, is the supreme student governing body at Midway Colleges. It serves as the voice of the student body and the main avenue for student involvement in institutional affairs. The council plays a vital role in shaping the student experience at Midway Colleges, ensuring that the students’ needs and interests are addressed.
