The Wisconsin Association of School Councils (WASC) is a state-wide network serving public, private, and parochial elementary through high school student councils and leadership groups in Wisconsin. Its mission centers on developing leadership and student responsibilities, guided by core values of Education, Engagement, Empowerment, and Relationships, with leadership curricula aligned to Common Core standards. The organization is based in Madison, Wisconsin, and operates within the primary and secondary education sector, partnering with the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators and affiliated with NASSP/NASC to support school leaders across the state. WASC works to connect schools through its leadership programs and standards, aiming to strengthen student leadership opportunities and educational outcomes. A noted development includes a state partnership with Room to Read, announced in early 2017, to advance education and literacy initiatives in underserved contexts.
