April 12, 2026 - Center Grove High School's student council has been named a 2025 National Gold Council of Excellence by the National Association of Student Councils. This is one of the most prestigious honors a student council can receive at the national level.

The recognition is awarded to councils that demonstrate an exemplary record of leadership, service, and activities that strengthen both the school and the broader community. To earn the designation, student councils must satisfy a rigorous set of criteria beyond foundational requirements, including documented success in leadership development and meaningful service to school and community — with the Gold tier representing the highest level of achievement.
