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:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“... Washington was not only an important capital. It was a city of fear. Below that glittering and delightful surface there is another story, that of underpaid Government clerks, men and women holding desperately to work that some political pull may at any moment take from them. A city of men in office and clutching that office, and a city of struggle which the country never suspects.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
