Jennifer Nguyen
Arlington High School
Jennifer Nguyen is the Eddie G. Bull Texas Association of Student Council's State Advisor of the Year!
Each of the 18 student council districts in the state of Texas vote on an advisor of the year, which is then sent to the elected TASC board members to be voted on to be named Texas State Advisor of the Year. The vote is based on service to their school's student council, participation and dedication to student council at the district and state levels, and the impact made on students in a multitude of ways.
After being unanimously voted as our district's advisor of the year in October, Jennifer Nguyen was awarded the honor of being selected as Texas' State Advisor of the Year for 2024 at the annual TASC State Conference!
