2026-2027 Calendar

The Southern Association of Student Councils is an association of fifteen Southeastern states that provides high school and middle level student leaders with opportunities for networking, building leadership skills, sharing ideas, participating in service projects, and getting motivated to make a difference in their schools, communities, and in their own lives. Their adult advisors enjoy the same benefits—plus the sharing of leadership curricula and strategies for supporting their students in becoming better leaders.

The annual conference, hosted by the SASC President school each year in a different location, brings together student leaders and advisers from the SASC member states for three days of networking, leadership training, idea sharing, service learning, inspiration, and fun.

The 2026 SASC conference is hosted by Blythewood High School in Blythewood, South Carolina.
