Student Activities & Clubs

Student Council

Langston Hughes Academy Student Leadership Council, a prominent student government organization, gives students a voice in determining school activities and environment. It helps promote activities for the entire student body at Langston Hughes Academy and fosters a positive climate throughout the school.  Council members also learn what it means to be a true philanthropist.  In addition to supporting LHA, this year Student Council has been active in fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by participating in their Night Walk and Pennies for Patients.   Being a member of student council is both an honor and a challenge.
