Baltimore County Public Schools

Engage. Empower. Excel.

The Baltimore County Junior Councils (BCJC) is a newly created, student-led organization that supports middle school administrators, the Board of Education of Baltimore County, and the Maryland Association of Student Councils by providing valuable input and feedback on issues that affect all students. The Baltimore County Junior Council serves as the official stakeholder voice of, and as a representative for, the more than 111,000 students along with the Baltimore County Student Councils within Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS).


The goal of BCJC is to provide an organized platform for middle school students to serve their school and community through three main focus areas:

• Student leadership
• School events and activities
• Service within the community

BCJC is governed by three elected officers and an appointed executive board that meets on a regular basis throughout the school year. BCJC is part of the Baltimore County Student Council legislative body, known as the general assembly, which is comprised of students from each middle and high school. The general assembly meets five times per year to propose, debate, and vote upon student-written legislation dealing with student issues. The executive board supports each school-based student council and also lobbies at the local, state, and federal levels of government on behalf of BCPS students.
