Student Leadership

At Al-Manarat Islamic High School, leadership is built on vision, challenge, and mentorship. Students don’t just learn leadership—they live it by organizing events, representing their peers, and upholding strong moral values.

An elected Student Council leads school affairs, with positions like President, Vice President, Secretary, and Sports Coordinators. Candidates are nominated by teachers and administrators based on academic excellence and Islamic character as we believe that leadership is driven by both competence and consciousness of Allah.

Student council members develop critical skills in problem-solving, communication, and responsibility as these are essential skill-sets required to have a successful university career and beyond.
