Membership Information

     MASC is made up of secondary schools in Massachusetts which have student councils or similar organizations that shall be eligible for membership in the organization upon payment of annual dues. A Students Activities Registration Form/Invoice is sent to every MSSAA high school and middle school principal in Massachusetts. The form lists four activities, including student council that the principal may elect to join. Once the decision has been made as to which activities your school has elected to sponsor, and the principal has selected to take part in student council, a check must be made payable to MSSAA (Massachusetts Secondary School Administrators' Association).

 

MASC Dues:

If the school has at least one administrator that is a full member of the MSSAA

  • TBA per year for high schools
  • TBA per year for middle schools

If the school has no administrators that are full members of the MSSAA the registration fee is

  • TBA per year for high schools
  • TBA per year for middle schools

 

     MASC member schools are all permitted to attend all state conferences and events as long as dues are paid. Also, MASC shall be a member of the National Association of Student Councils and shall be represented at National Association of Student Councils annual conferences as well as other NASC meetings and workshops. Also MASC member schools of MASC are divided into the four regions to be known as Western, Central, Northeastern, and Southeastern.

 

     MASC member schools are eligible to receive numerous awards, scholarships, and recognition for outstanding achievement. MASC member schools receive our newsletter and all other information relative to state, regional or national awards, conferences, and programs. The two state conferences and the Summer Leadership Training Program provide opportunities and enrichment for high school students and advisors. If you are unsure of your membership status, please call the Massachusetts Secondary School Administrators’ Association in Franklin, (508) 541-9818 and ask for Margie.

 

Please check with your principal to ensure that he/she has completed the registration process. Schools must be registered for Student Council in order to attend any state conferences/events.

  • Letter from Afghanistan
    Received a great message from an MASC alum currently stationed in Afghanistan. For anyone that questions what MASC can do for you, read this over! We wish Eddie the best of luck and safe return from his deployment in Afghanistan!

    I am Eddie Walsh and I was an MASC delegate 2005-2006. Bottom line up front, MASC makes leaders.
    I can look back and confidently say that being involved and attending as many SEMASC and MASC events as I did definitely helped prepare me for college and the infamous "life after college" aka the real world. On a daily basis I use the planning, communication, and creative thinking skills that I learned from workshops, small and large group speakers.
    As a (recovering) Student Council kid and a current Marine Officer I recommend that every Massachusetts high school student attend the spring MASC conference and the MASC Summer Camp and participate to the fullest extent.
    If I could, I would love to visit the conference and see how it has changed and grown in the 7 years since I last attended, however I am in Helmand Province, Afghanistan and last time I checked Hyannis is quite a commute.
    Please tell all the students and advisers that I wish I could be there with them.

    Respectfully,
    1stLt Edward Walsh

  • State Conference Registration Instructions
    Hello Advisors!

    On December 7th at noon, registration will open for the Annual State Conference.  We have put these instructions together and attached a registration worksheet to make the process as easy as possible.

    Go to http://www.mastuco.net/ and click on one of the following options on the left side of the main page:

    "Full  - Annual State Conference" registration - Use this registration method if your student list is fairly certain and you have minimal TBD (to be determined) students.   The registration worksheet will help you prepare your rooms before you go online to register. It can be downloaded here http://www.mastuco.net/images/confregwork.pdf ..  If you have a significant number of TBD students, you will be best off to use the "Quick - Annual State Conference" registration.  This will give you until February 1st to come back to the site and complete this full registration.

     "Quick  - Annual State Conference" registration - Use this registration if you have a lot of TBD (to be determined) students. It will save you time in the long run!  The registration worksheet will help you prepare your rooms before you go online to register. It can be downloaded here http://www.mastuco.net/images/confregwork.pdf .. You will need to come back and complete the full registration once you have names or before February 1, 2013.
    Once you complete your online registration, please print the form, sign it, have your principal sign it and mail it along with your payment or purchase order to:

    Michele Blackburn
    MSSAA
    33 Forge Parkway
    Franklin, MA 02038

    All checks should be payable to MSSAA.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to email conference at mastuco.net .   We will do the best we can to answer your question on the same day!

    We can't wait to see you in Hyannis!
