Mayor's Youth Council
In every community, the youth provide the foundational core that will grow to lead the future generation. To emphasize this point, Bellmont High School and the City of Decatur partnered to create a student board, called the Mayor’s Youth Council. This has the primary purpose of serving the mayor and engaging students in the community.
