Honors Scholar Program

Community Council (CoCo) is a student-led programming and governing board that seeks to create engagement opportunities for HSP members to make a difference in the Spalding and Louisville communities and beyond!

Students involved engage in quality programming, advocacy, and leadership development. Students, with the support and advice of director Dr. Parmenter and GA Kayley, create varied and well-planned social, academic, and/or volunteering activities for members to be more involved in the HSP and Spalding communities. Involved students serve as student representatives to the HSP Leadership Team and seek feedback on ways to change and improve the HSP. Students also garner their own leadership development and encourage the development of other HSP members through various skill-building opportunities.
