This year's Grade 9-12 Student Government elections were much more than a school's typical run of campaign speeches for the 20 applicants. After applying to run, student candidates in each grade were interviewed by faculty about their plans and platforms. Students then took to campus with posters and other campaign efforts, culminating with a Thursday assembly of presentations before students digitally cast their votes.
Co-curricular programs like Student Government help students develop 21st century leadership, organizational and management skills, all of which contribute to the global citizenship necessary in today’s modern society. Student Government’s mission is to cultivate and train a cohort of responsible, creative, passionate leaders who will enrich student experiences through planning activities and programs for their student body.
