The High School Senate allows students an opportunity to shape their experiences on campus and allow student views and opinions to be presented to the school’s faculty and administration by electing representatives from each grade level.
Skills in organization, communication and leadership are developed through hands-on experience throughout the year.
Senate events such as the Prom, Talent Show, Spirit Week and more have grown in size and reputation, becoming key milestones in the academic year that all students look forward to.
In this Service Learning activity, elected student representatives work together to provide a voice for the student body; work with the faculty and administration to provide student perspective on school issues; plan and coordinate student events both on campus and in the community; and control their own budget for student events and donate surplus funds to student-selected service organizations. An officer board is elected within the
Senate to lead meetings, spearhead Senate initiatives and liaise with school faculty and administration.
