JHGS ASB

What is ASB?

ASB stands for Associated Student Body--a group of students that is selected and elected to represent the entire student body of JGHS. This is the student government of JGHS. Throughout the years, JGHS has been blessed with creative, dedicated, and responsible ASB officers.

Why do I need an ASB card?

Every school year during registration, students are required to get a photo ID card. You will use this ID card for checking out textbooks and verifying who you are throughout the school year. This ID card also allows you to attend JGHS events at the full admission price. When you pay the fee for the ASB card, you are actually getting "ASB" stamped on your student ID card instead of a stand-alone card. When you attend a JGHS event, whether it is a dance or say... a football game, you show your ID card to the ticket takers at the event. They see the ASB logo and you get into sports for free and discounts off dances and yearbooks. You also get a community discount card to save money at local resturants.

​What does ASB do?

ASB is responsible for three main objectives:

1. Providing student activities.

2. Managing the finances of the student groups on campus.

3. Representing the voice of John Glenn High School students to staff, school district, and community.

These three objectives all support the #1 goal of John Glenn High School ASB: to achieve 100% student involvement at JGHS.

What does it take to be on ASB?

ASB members must be leaders. The qualities of a good leader include honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, reliability, willingness to work hard, humility, respect for both adults and fellow students, and school pride. You must have at least a 2.5 GPA, be in good academic standing, and maintain high academic and personal standards, both on and off campus.
