Seashore Middle Academy Student Council

Developing Leaders. Serving Others. Making an Impact.

Seashore Middle Academy Student Council (STUCO) is a leadership-development program designed to develop confident, capable, and civic-minded student leaders.

STUCO gives students opportunities to move beyond the classroom and experience leadership in action. Throughout the year, students will interact with community leaders, visit local organizations and workplaces, participate in service and leadership activities, and reflect on what they are learning through journaling and discussion.

Each month focuses on a different leadership theme, including Principles of Leadership, Service Leadership, Civic Responsibility, Servant Leadership, Growth Mindset, Teamwork, Communication, and Environmental Stewardship. Students will also meet a Coastal Bend community leader—our “Launching Leader”—who will share their experiences, challenges, and perspectives on leadership.

Leadership in Action

STUCO is intentionally designed to connect leadership lessons to the real world. Students may have opportunities to:

Meet and learn from local business, civic, military, nonprofit, and community leaders
Visit local organizations, workplaces, and community sites
Participate in service and community-based projects
Develop communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills
Explore how leadership connects to future careers and community involvement
Reflect on their experiences and identify ways they can become stronger leaders

Our goal is for students to understand that leadership is not about having a title—it is about how you influence, serve, communicate, and make a difference.

What We Expect From Our Members

STUCO membership is a privilege and comes with high expectations. Students represent Seashore Middle Academy when interacting with community leaders and participating in off-campus experiences.

Members are expected to:

Demonstrate respectful, responsible, and professional behavior
Maintain passing grades in accordance with UIL requirements
Maintain good standing with classroom attendance, including the required 90% attendance rate in each class
Attend STUCO meetings, activities, and leadership experiences consistently
Be prepared to represent Seashore Middle Academy positively in the community

Students may not miss more than three scheduled STUCO events per semester. Excessive absences may result in forfeiture of membership.

A Year of Leadership

Each month brings a new leadership focus and a new opportunity to put leadership into action. Experiences planned for the 2026–2027 school year include visits and interactions with leaders from NAS Corpus Christi, the City of Corpus Christi, Nueces County, CASA of the Coastal Bend, local business, athletics, local media, and Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries.

We are not just teaching students about leadership. We are giving them opportunities to lead.
