Leadership is not a position or title;
it is action and example.
Student Government is a participation-based course
designed to train students in the essentials of
leadership and personal growth through school and
community experiences.
This class is intended to provide leadership training
in which students develop appreciation of the duties
and responsibilities of communication, citizenship,
and teamwork. Students will also plan and
implement student activities throughout the school
year.
Student Government students are held to a higher
standard compared to their peers and are expected
to be role models on and off campus.
