About

Our Mission

The Walter Payton Student Government serves as the official representative body of the students and as a liaison between the student body and the administration. We strive to enhance the experience of the Payton community by using our platform to enact positive change throughout all facets of student life: clubs, curriculum, and community building, while centering student voices at the forefront of our action. In working towards Payton’s Vision For Equity, we aim to collaborate with identity clubs and uplift BIPOC voices to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all students. Our goal is to foster a trusting environment where every student feels comfortable confiding in us; we strive to utilize these dialogues to direct initiatives and influence policy at both the school and district levels.
