Student leaders from 31 South Carolina Independent School Association schools, including Thomas Sumter Academy, held their fall conference recently in the House of Representatives Chambers at the Statehouse in Columbia. While in session at the Statehouse, the students held their general meeting, which included discussions on the Student Exchange program, the Student Council of the Year, the National Honor Society of the Year and the 2019 Spring Convention. Additionally, during a development session, students introduced and debated resolutions, heard an explanation of student exchange week, discussed the headmasters' paper and heard the student exchange pairings. Students interested in running for a SCISA office during the 2019 Spring Convention were allowed to speak with and question the present elected officials of the association. "Student leaders from both South Carolina and Georgia participated in a parliamentary exercise to debate critical issues facing their schools from the floor of the historic South Carolina Statehouse," SCISA Executive Director Dr. Spencer A. Jordan said.
