Following the recent opening for Student Council sponsor, science teacher and cross country coach Steve Heffernan took on the position. Heffernan said his goals going into the new position are centered around creating a school connection.
“One of the goals we had was to help kids who don’t connect with Free State as well,” Heffernan said. “I challenge them to do that through activities and things during the school day so more people feel like they’re part of the school.”
In his first year, Heffernan has emphasized developing a strong sense of leadership, which he wants to continue to promote as the sponsor. Heffernan said StuCo has many upcoming events including traditional events like winter formal as well as new additions.
“We’re working on winter formal and a few other smaller things,” Heffernan said.
