The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council (SSAC) is a strong and diverse group of high school students from across the state’s eight education regions. The SSAC meets virtually each month, and members serve a two-year term that concludes at the end of their senior year of high school. Throughout the appointment, advisors hear from experts at the Department of Public Instruction, State Board of Education, the General Assembly, and the Governor's Office, among others, to learn about issues facing our state and share their input on what can be done to support students, teachers and our local school districts and charter schools.

At the conclusion of each year, advisors have the opportunity to participate in a Student Advocacy Day at the North Carolina General Assembly. The council members will also meet with the Superintendent of Public Instruction during their visit to Raleigh.
