As a Canyon High School student leader, each individual will be accountable to the public as well as the school community. All students should remember that participation in CHS Student Government (ASB) is a privilege and not a right. Canyon High School expects a higher standard of conduct from its leaders. Students wishing to pursue a position of leadership in the school must agree to uphold the following standards: Academic Standards of Conduct: A student leader: Must be earning a grade point average of 2.0 or higher at the time of application, and maintain it through the term of office or position.

Must not use or possess illegal drugs, alcohol, or tobacco at any time since all such substances are illegal for minors. Must not violate any law out of school which would result in a legal conviction (i.e. misdemeanor, felony) Leadership Standards of Conduct: A student leader: Must exhibit behavior in the classroom as well as the school community worthy of being a positive role model. Any further specific requirement or restriction concerning a particular position in Canyon High School Student Government shall be left to the discretion of the ASB.
