HSSC meaning in Academic & Science ?

The Hawaii State Student Council, commonly known as HSSC, currently consists of 44 students; one student representing each of Hawaii's forty-three public schools, and one student member on the Hawaii State Board of Education (BOE).

The BOE student member is a non-voting member that attends BOE meetings and solicits inputs on policy decisions from the HSSC and students throughout the state, encouraging them to express their concerns.

The State Advisor serves as the counselor of the council and is the bond between the Hawai'i Department of Education and the HSSC. The Advisor also serves as the advisor to the planners of the Secondary Student Conference (SSC).

The HSSC also works closely with the SSC Planning Committee to address youth concerns to the State Legislature, Board of Education, and other recommending bodies. The SSC Planning Committee plans an annual mock legislative experience for public and private secondary schools.

The HSSC started in 1972 with seven members.
