HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Student Government is open to all students. Students have a voice on every committee in the school and in the district including the Curriculum Council and the Crisis Response Committee. Student government representatives also have their own committees including the Constitution Committee and the Advertising Committee. All student government representatives meet every other Thursday in Cafeteria A at 7:30. During the course of these Senate meetings, a student created agenda is followed. Students report on the various committees they sit on, the president of each class gives a report for their grade, and students discuss pressing business (including student events and student concerns). All students (whether you are an elected official or not) are welcome to attend and take part in meetings.
