School Community Council

What is the School Community Council?

Hilo High School’s SCC shares decision-making among the principal, teachers, staff, parents, students and community members to improve student achievement. The SCC is a major part of the overall, decision-making structure at our school and consists of a group of people who are elected by their peers to represent the members of the school community. The primary role of the SCC is to review, evaluate and monitor the Academic and Financial Plan and to ensure that the needs of all students are addressed.
