ACTIVITY CODE OF CONDUCT 

The activity program at Cazenovia High School provides opportunities for participation in a wide range of activities. It is a privilege to participate in the activity program, and you represent the school and Cazenovia through your conduct, manners, and appearance. We expect that you will be proud to represent both your school and Cazenovia, and work hard to keep its honor untarnished. Therefore, you must maintain a high standard of conduct, both in and out of school, as a host or as a guest of another school, and in all your activities in the community. Please consult the Extracurricular Handbook here for more information.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT 

The Student Government represents the entire student body through its elected officers and class representatives. The Student Government attempts to provide the students with a voice in the democratic process of our school by working closely with the Student Government Advisors and the school administration. Members of our Student Government have the responsibility to maintain high standards of conduct. A constitution exists which details the rights and responsibilities of all elected officials in our Student Government. A copy of the constitution is available in the Library or from the Student Government Advisors. 

According to the constitution of the Cazenovia High School Student Government, its goals are: 

• Promoting school spirit
