Houstonville's City Council                                                Houstonville's Mayor:  Tracy

Houstonville's City Council consists of the Mayor of Houstonville, the Mayor Protem, and other community members.  They gather together for meetings to discuss the "city" and how to make the city of Houstonville a more productive city.  If there are any problems or situation that arise, this council brainstorms ideas to resolve the problem and follow through with their solutions.  The mayor is elected from the student body once a year in May and is then voted into term by the 2nd-4th graders.  The mayor must be a 5th grader with passing grades and excellent behavior.  The mayor must show those leadership skills necessary to act as Mayor of a city.  With the help of the Mayor, Mayor Protem, and other city council members, Houstonville has become an organized city based on its lifeskills.  Lifeskills are a vital part of Houstonville.  These lifeskills involve Integrity, Responsibility, Cooperation, Caring, Effort, Creativity, Respect, Problem Solving, Friendship, Patience, and Honesty.  Students learn these lifeskills and know the value and role these skills have on every day life.
