About Student Council

Student Council is the student-led governmental organization  that acts as a representative for the students at Cleveland Middle School.  Its purpose is to collaborate with teachers and administrators to improve student life and provide students with valuable learning experiences.  The Council gives students a voice in determining school issues and ideas for solutions. We strive to unite the student body, get students involved, and to foster a positive climate throughout the school. The goal of Student Council is to promote a sense of community, act as a voice for students, provide community service, and raise funds for charitable causes and school improvements. Leadership is a key component of a successful Student Council. Participation in the Council encourages responsibility, citizenship and leadership.

How to join Student Council

To become a Student Council Member, students must submit a parental consent form and a written essay. To be considered for an Officer position, students must submit a parental consent form and a written essay as well as two teacher recommendations.

Meeting Days

Student Council meets every other Wednesday, from 3:15 to 4:30pm.

About Us

FTC National Competition team is for 7th through 12th graders.  We compete nationally for over $80 million in scholarships each year.  Club meets Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school until the tutorial buses come.  Our competition and travel season start in January with potential trips to other cities in Texas.  Nationals rotates cites, two years ago it was in Houston, three years ago it was in Boston, Massachusetts.  

We try to host community events with CMS Robotics Classes such as the Robot Rumble event in November (insert pictures from google drive).  The head coach is Mr. Dixon.  He is assisted by Mr. Akl, Mr. Waxler, Mr. Berkey, Mrs. Burch, and Mrs. Fraizer.

The 6th Grade competition team will start meeting in January for a 6th grade specific event.  Meeting times and days TBD, please contact Mr. Dixon or Mr. B. Johnson (6th Grade robotics teacher) to find out more.

Dixon was original from San Antonio, Texas.  Took robotics in high school and it encouraged him to go to Texas A&M.  Started Cleveland ISD's robotics programs in 2014 and has grown it to be a districtwide career option.

University Interscholastic League

The University Interscholastic League offers a variety of programs for academic competition from grades 2-8 and high school. More than half a million students participate in UIL academic contests each year.

These activities, which exist to complement the academic curriculum, are designed to motivate students as they acquire higher levels of knowledge, to challenge students to confront issues of importance, and to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of specific skills. Students are challenged to think critically and creatively, exhibiting much more than knowledge and comprehension.

CMS will be participating in this year's competition on Saturday, November 6, 2021
