Student Government
Student government is a vital part of the extra-curricular life of Leigh. The students involved are elected by their peers and foster community amongst students and staff. A subgroup of this organization is Leigh’s Student Congress where diverse representatives are chosen from each sixth period class. These congress meetings promote discussion, planning, and publicity for campus activities.
There are more than thirty clubs on campus open to all students, with meeting times during lunch or after school, which makes it convenient for students to attend. Each club or organization must have a constitution and must be approved by the Associated Student Body (ASB).

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or government:
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“I feel a sincere wish indeed to see our government brought back to it’s republican principles, to see that kind of government firmly fixed, to which my whole life has been devoted. I hope we shall now see it so established, as that when I retire, it may be under full security that we are to continue free and happy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
