Founded in August 2018, Epic Charter Schools Student Council reaches all 77 counties of our state. With this vast reach, we are proud to positively impact so many communities. In no way do we underestimate this responsibility. We are committed to making positive changes in Oklahoma.
The purpose of the Student Council is to promote school spirit, be a connection between administration and student body, and provide leadership opportunities in the school and in the community. It is through these missions that we build teamwork and responsibility within each member. Through participation, members will learn to solve real problems and make real decisions.
