A student leadership legacy for every generation of leaders
Student body presidents, club founders and team captains shape school culture long before they graduate. A student leadership collection keeps their names and contributions visible to the students stepping into those roles next.

Why it matters
Student leaders are honored for a year, then forgotten
A student council president gets a yearbook mention and a speech at graduation. By the next fall, few students know who held the role or what they started. Clubs lose track of their founders within a few years.

Questions
Student Leadership Legacy questions
Start with elected student government roles, then add club founders, captains and service leaders. Choose roles that reflect what your school values.
As far as your records allow. Yearbooks are usually the best source for officer lists, and alumni can fill gaps.
History Showcase gives each leader or officer team a profile in a collection your staff maintain in Rocket’s editor. Students and alumni can explore it on a compatible touchscreen and on the web.
Bring one officer list, such as student body presidents, to a demo. Samples help but are not required, and Rocket prices the setup you choose after that conversation.
