Norman North Student Council
D.E.N. is a group of committed students and three hard-working advisors, Mr. Curry, Mrs. Curtis, and Mrs. Pawley. D.E.N. puts together memorable events and activities that the entire student body can attend and be a part of. These events include assemblies, Homecoming events, dances, spirit weeks, Semi-Formal, Silent Rave, and Lunch on the Lawn, among others. D.E.N. represents the student body in meetings with faculty as well as the Academic Council. We strive to find ways to Develop Excellence at North on a daily basis.
How to get involved in D.E.N.
There are many ways to become involved with DEN. One way is through elected positions. D.E.N. elections take place in the spring of every school year. D.E.N. is composed of an Executive Council (President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Public Relations officer) as well as Senators from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes at Norman North. Another way to be involved in D.E.N. is by being appointed a Committee Chair after going through an application/interview process. We also have Faculty-appointed House of Representatives positions that will represent different academic/organization departments throughout the school. We encourage every student to look for ways to get involved in Developing Excellence at North.
