2027 Award Deadline: January 20th
The MASC/MAHS STAR School Award recognizes member schools that demonstrate a strong, ongoing commitment to student leadership throughout the year.
Unlike awards focused on a single student, adviser, or project, the STAR School Award celebrates the collective leadership effort of an entire school community. Member schools earn points through participation in MASC/MAHS programs, events, leadership opportunities, and statewide involvement.
Schools may earn points by:
- Attending conferences, trainings, and statewide events
- Hosting or supporting MASC/MAHS programs
- Participating in competitions, awards, and student voice opportunities
- Having students serve in statewide leadership roles
- Demonstrating continued involvement throughout the school year
What It Means to Be a STAR School
STAR Schools represent some of the most engaged student leadership programs within MASC/MAHS Michigan Student Leadership. These schools help strengthen our statewide network by sharing ideas, supporting other member schools, encouraging student involvement, and helping move student leadership forward across Michigan.
The STAR School Award is both a recognition of what a school has accomplished and a celebration of its continued commitment to developing student leaders.
