HWDSB’s 2025-2026 Student Trustees will be announced in April, 2025! Stay tuned to hear more.

A Student Trustee is a member of the Board of Trustees and part of the deliberations and decision-making of all matters brought before the Board.

Some critical responsibilities of the Student Trustee are to represent the interests of students during deliberations of the Board of Trustees and to communicate Board decisions to students. Student views are considered in the decisions made by the Board of Trustees. Being a Student Trustee gives students valuable learning opportunities and experiences.

HWDSB is committed to hearing the voices of students through Student Trustees. Two Student Trustees for 2025-26 will be selected through an election process.

As with previous years, Shakowennakara:tats (Indigenous Student Trustee) will be raised through CC:ROSE. CC:ROSE is a student-led community for Indigenous learners who want connect with each other through unique cultural opportunities and by sharing their voice as Indigenous youth across HWDSB. Further information regarding this process will follow.
