HISTORY

The Student Council is a vital organization involved in both academic and extracurricular activities worldwide.
At Usum School, the Student Council plays a crucial role in protecting students’ rights, addressing their concerns, fostering discipline and legal awareness, ensuring safe leisure activities, and promoting cultural engagement.
Comprising students from grades 7-12, the Council ensures proportional representation from each class, giving all students a voice in school governance.

The first Student Council at Usum School was established in 2013, following the Ministry of Education and Science of Armenia’s Decision No. 571-N, adopted on May 15, 2011.
