Student Government
Student Government is a representative legislative body. Each grade has a Class Board group, which includes a President, Vice President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, Historian and several Student Government Representatives (number depends on class year). Each class board manages its own funds and activities. The Student Government representatives, in addition to being active members of their own class board are also required to attend weekly Student Government meetings. The Student Government addresses issues that pertain to the school as a whole, specifically activities that include more than one grade, club or incorporate a community group. Examples of activities managed by Student Government include Homecoming, March Jamboree, Spirit Day, and Pep Rallies. The president and the advisor, have the primary responsibility and accountability to the student body of insuring that each function goes according to plan. They are assisted by the other Student Government officers and in most cases an event Chairperson.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or government:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“A certain secret jealousy of the British Minister is always lurking in the breast of every American Senator, if he is truly democratic; for democracy, rightly understood, is the government of the people, by the people, for the benefit of Senators, and there is always a danger that the British Minister may not understand this political principle as he should.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
