ONE SCHOOL, ONE POWER
School theme encourages student body to come together in final year of unity The Power of One. It’s a phrase that every student by kendra spaw, executive editor at our campus has heard probably more than once in
these first five weeks of school, but many students don’t understand the purpose of the slogan and how it has shifted Consol into a new direction. Last year, as student body president Celina Malave thought about her election videos for Student Council, she realized that the 2011-2012 school year would be the last year the student body was together before the split with the new high school, College Station High School. “Originally, it was a StuCo idea to be the Student Council theme, but then Mr. Reed contacted me and told me he wanted to have a school theme,” Malave said. Soon after, her StuCo plan would turn into the school motto for the year.
