For outstanding achievement in leadership, service, and activities that serve to improve the school and community, CHS earns statewide recognition from the Texas Association of Student Councils (TASC) as a Sweepstakes Council. Sweepstakes Councils must be recognized as an Outstanding Student Council and receive Outstanding recognition in Drugs, Alcohol, Safety and Health (DASH); Pride and Patriotism; and Energy and Environment; as well as submitting a Community Service Report. TASC has 1,269 member schools. Of those, Creekview is one of only 230 student councils statewide to receive this highly-esteemed honor.  

 “I am incredibly proud of the students this year,” said Nancy Isch, advisor of the Creekview High School Student Council. “They inspire me every day with their passion for making a difference and dedication to helping others. With their kindness, leadership, and growth this year, they have truly earned this award.”

Student Council members develop proven skills in team building, problem-solving, project planning, and decision making.  Through their co-curricular activities, Student Council members serve their communities while strengthening their academic and civic skills. Jacob Everly, President of the Creekview High School Student Council expressed his excitement in earning this recognition saying, “It’s amazing to be recognized for all of our hard work this year. We’re happy to see that our actions have really made an impact on our school and in our community.”

TASC is a non-profit serving high school and middle-level student councils in Texas.  Sponsored by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals, its purposes are to develop leadership abilities in students, promote democracy as a way of life, and uphold high standards for local councils.  With almost 1300 member schools, it is the largest state student leadership organization in the US.

The CHS Mock Trial Team places at the National High School Mock Trial Tournament in Reno, NV. The team includes attorneys Nicholas Hoffman, Anonik Tep, and Katherine Jouett; witnesses Briana Cepeda, Kit Hawkins, Mahak Merchant, and Harris Pierce; and timekeeper/paralegal Jazmin Torres. The team competed against the state champions from each state in the nation as well as teams from Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and South Korea.

With a 3-1 record, Creekview placed 14^th overall, which is Creekview’s second highest Nationals finish following last year’s 5^th place ranking.
