Our mission is to promote, develop, and empower successful student councils in secondary schools in Texas. Sponsored by the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals, TASC is the Texas Affiliate of the National Association of Student Councils. Its purposes are to develop leadership abilities in students, promote democracy as a way of life and establish and uphold high standards for local councils. Organized in 1937, TASC has grown to serve more than 1340 member schools in Texas. Any junior or senior high school, public, parochial or private, may become a member of this organization by paying the annual membership.
