What we are all about…..

The O.A.M.J.H.S.C. provides opportunities for student governments to become more effective in our schools. We are laboratories in which students can learn and practice essential citizenship skills, respect for human dignity, and the value of the democratic process. We provide student with effective forums for advocating new ideas and initiating school improvements; effective student governments provide a plate for for the orderly expression of conflicting viewpoints and procedures for resolving conflicts when students disagree with policies and decisions that affect their lives.

The Purpose of this organization is to encourage the formation, development, and expansion of middle and junior high school student councils in Oklahoma, to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among the members of the OAMJHSC, to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between the members of the OAMJHSC and the National Association of Student Councils, and to provide training and development of leadership skills and abilities for middle and junior high school student leaders.

The Oklahoma Association of Middle School and Junior High Student Councils consists of students throughout the state of Oklahoma who are working together in a harmonious effort to bring about growth in student councils—to make them respected investments of time and energy in education.
Student councils are changing. It is the intent of the OAMJHSC to aid these student councils in their quest of becoming more effective and meaningful organizations.

We are safeguarding the ideals of democracy by developing a sincere regard for law and government in the future leaders of tomorrow—the middle school and junior high students of today.

Our affiliation with the National Association of Student Councils helps us bring news to the students of Oklahoma so that they can benefit from the events happening nationwide.

Through experience we have become more organized and are able to offer more benefits to our members than ever before.

We urge non-members to become a part of the OAMJHSC and to take advantage of the opportunities available. Any public, private, or parochial middle or junior high school student council in the state of Oklahoma is eligible to become a member school.
