ASB (Associated Student Body) /Zero Period Student Government (Zero period only) -
ASB stands for Associated Student Body and applies to any student in our school. The ASB Class is the group of selected students that represent their peers. The class has many roles on campus but our basic mission is to build unity, pride, and participation among students, staff, and community. Student Government is a class designed to support traditional ASB activities such as class fundraisers, homecoming, dances, and rallies. Tentatively, the zero period begins at 7:30 AM Monday through Friday. The main purpose of offering a 7:30 AM student government class is to give students from all grade levels room in their schedule to take the class. Attendance will be taken at 7:30 daily. Failure to arrive before 7:30 will result in dismissal from the class. Students can apply for various positions. Read through the attached link to determine what positions you would like to apply for. If you do not know, list at least two possibilities so we know what to ask during the interview. Positions offered within the class include: 

• • Traditional class officers such as the president, vice president, secretary, and treasure

  • Commissioner positions such as class commissioners, publicity, rally, and dance.

  • Others as needed.

Student Government members will never be asked to miss an athletic practice, a game, or a competition because of an ASB event. Many ASB students are involved in other clubs and sports on campus. Just be sure not to overcommit yourself by joining too many groups on campus. Students will be notified by email regarding their position and status in the class.

Leadership/Student Government (4th period only)-
ASB and Student Government are different names for the same class.  Leadership has many roles on campus but our basic mission is to build unity, pride, and participation among students, staff, and community. 4th-period Leadership is a class designed to build campus climate by making a connection amongst all grade levels with a special focus on freshmen and upperclassmen. Blood drives, Essence of Rosemont, lunchtime activities, and many other school-wide events are planned during 4th-period Leadership. Within this class, there are some specific positions such as student store manager, ASB secretary, treasurer, vice president, and president. Recognition, communication, and participation committees are the traditional committees offered during 4th period. Overall responsibilities and roles are not decided until training begins in the summer. 

Yearbook -
Through specialized training and experience, students assume responsible positions as editors, business managers, or advertising managers. Students plan photos and stories to be included in the yearbook, supervise photography, write and edit copy, sell and design ads, and learn methods of designing pages. The class allows students to express ideas, and engage in creative thinking, leadership, and problem-solving.

Peer tutoring (by recommendation only) -
Peer Tutoring is a general elective course open to students in grades 11 through 12. This course may be repeated. This course enables a student to have the experience of working with other students in subjects in which the tutor is more skilled than the tutee, in a school setting under the supervision of a certificated person. The experience of peer tutoring will vary because of the individualized duties required in different subjects at different levels. This course provides student-student contact and a learning opportunity for both tutee and tutor.

Psychology -
Psychology is a two semester A-G elective class.  Psychology uses the brain and the mind to the study of behavior and mental processes.  In a broad sense the course tries to explain how biology, society, culture and psychological processes influence behavior and thoughts.  More specifically, topics such as the biological basis of behavior, sleep and dreams, learning and memory, state of consciousness with an emphasis on psychoactive drugs and lastly mental disorders and treatments.  This class seeks to allow students to take the concepts and relate them to themselves to help create a more self aware person.  The students can better create a more successful life for themselves.
