All students are members of the Student Government. To be elected to the governing board of the Student Government is one of the highest honors a class can give one of its members. Student Government executive officers are elected in April. Class officers and class cabinets are elected in May. Freshman class officers and class cabinet are elected in September. Students are eligible to place their names in nomination for any position. Each class elects, by ballot, those students who are considered best suited to contribute constructive thought and sound judgment in the promotion of school affairs.
The work of the Student Government is carried on by the commissions. All commissioners are selected by interview and vote of the old and new Student Government officers. Any student in the school may volunteer to work on any commission projects. Following are the commissions and their responsibilities: Election Commission is responsible for all school elections.
