Hundreds of Students Converge On South Fayette High School! the National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society. “We could not be more pleased that the National Student Council Conference was hosted at South Fayette High School in 2019,” said NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti. “NASSP is deeply committed to developing student leaders, and the model that South Fayette provides made the school the ideal site for this prestigious event.” During the conference, both students and adults heard from motivational speakers, attended workshops, and networked with their peers. Many delegates from across the country also had the opportunity to sightsee in the Pittsburgh region before the conference, something noted by Allegheny County Chief Executive Rich Fitzgerald, who also spoke to attendees on the opening day of the conference. In addition to being a great opportunity for the attendees, the conference also provided opportunities for dozens of South Fayette students to assist in the planning and execution of this event. This was a student run endeavor, and the work of conference co-chairs Dorfner and Pollock, along with the entire student team at South Fayette High School, ensured this was an unforgettable experience for all attendees, and also ensured they returned home better equipped to make positive changes in their own communities.
