Student Leadership

SAC provides students in grades 3-5 the opportunity to represent their peers by presenting ideas to improve the Lower School from a student perspective.  This program affords students the opportunity to represent their peers in the school improvement process. Students have made many valuable contributions to improving school life over the years.

Students participate in formational learning activities that allow them to participate in service opportunities in school or in the broader community. The DC Cares After School Club works to identify changing needs within the community and encourage and bless the recipient.

In 4th and 5th grade, students are given many opportunities to serve their peers.  Examples include office messengers, safety patrol officers, flag raisers, bus buddies, new student buddies, and helping with younger students at lunch and recess. 

Students in each classroom serve as student ambassadors, greeting visitors, welcoming pastors, and serving the elderly at school. It is their responsibility to provide a warm and welcoming greeting, help and inform visitors and serve as needed during special events. 

In the early grades (K-2) students are given the opportunity to lead and serve their classmates through daily jobs.  Examples include, being the door holder, prayer or line leader.  These assignments, and others, teach students humility and consideration for others at a young age.

The Student Leadership Board is designed for students who model the character qualities of the DC Honor Code. Students will help serve as leaders in the DC Middle School, plan service projects and socials, and have a voice into the culture of the DC Middle School. 

Student Ambassadors are a group of students in each grade who serve Delaware County Christian School as tour guides and student hosts because of their quality of character, level of maturity, ability to communicate, and positive influence on the school community. They provide an invaluable service by introducing DC to visiting students and families and by presenting their knowledge and experience of DC in an enthusiastic and positive manner.

Each Advisory class is given the opportunity to have a leadership role during chapel in which they pray for the students body, read God's Word, and introduce chapel speakers. Additionally, students have the opportunity to lead the musical time of worship through singing and the playing of instruments. 

The Cabinets at DC collectively support various facets of the school community.

• The Arts Cabinet promotes the arts through marketing, event organization, and service projects.
• The Admissions Cabinet assists the Admissions Office by planning events, training Student Ambassadors, and welcoming prospective families with enthusiasm and leadership.
• The Advancement Cabinet aids in the planning and hosting of school-wide events, fostering community engagement and school spirit. 
• The MCA (Multicultural Alliance) Cabinet plans events and activities to promote equity, belonging, and representation.

The Student Life Council at DC focuses on enhancing the spiritual and social environment of the school through fostering relationships and organizing community events. They plan and execute various activities, including chapels, discipleship groups, intramurals, assemblies, retreats, worship nights, and service events.

Each class has an elected President and Board who oversee and run class socials and other key events for the Upper School like the Christmas Banquet and Junior/Senior Prom. They meet with a class advisor to go over key elements of interest to their respective classes. Each class President also serves on the Presidents’ Council, which meets with the Administrative Head Prefect monthly to discuss school culture issues.

Students in every grade can serve as student ambassadors, greeting visitors, welcoming prospective families, and participating in Discovery Days. It is their responsibility to provide a warm and welcoming greeting, help and inform visitors, give tours to prospective families, have prospective students shadow them in their classes, and serve as needed during school events.

Students can be appointed as Captain(s) of their athletic team by their coach(s). In this role, they work with coaches to promote team unity, sportsmanship, godly character, and perseverance.

Many of the curricular and extracurricular clubs in the Upper School have student officers or leaders who are appointed by teachers or advisors. These officers/leaders have a variety of responsibilities depending on their club. Some of these include Multicultural Alliance (MCA), Hi-Q, International Thespian Society Leaders, RED Team (Art), Cappies President, Tech Crew, Band and Choir, Mock Trial, and Worship Team.
