[edit] Student Government Organization
The school's Student Government (SG) is run in a representative style. Each grade has a Class Board, generally made up of a President, Vice President, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, Historian and several Student Government Representatives (depending on each particular grade). Each Class Board monitors 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. At this time they discuss 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 that they host are Homecoming, March Jamboree, Spirit Day, Pep Rally and a whole slate of other events. The President, Ali Kaufman and the Advisor, Mrs. Teresa Rolla has 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.
