Junior Officers

Junior Officers are members of the teachHOUSTON Student Society who have already paid their dues and are interested in joining the Governing Board or simply want to be more involved in the teachHOUSTON program. Interested students may apply at any point during the semester.

Junior Officers work closely with specific officers and assist in the preparation of society events like community service events, professional development workshops, fundraisers, and socials. Junior Officers are also required to attend one monthly meeting.

If a current officer steps down or is removed from office, a vacancy is created in the Governing Board. When this happens, only Junior Officers are allowed to apply and run to fill this vacancy. 

Additionally, Junior Officers gain extensive knowledge of student society operations which significantly increases their chances of winning their respective races during our annual spring officer elections. Although Junior Officers are not guaranteed a place on the Governing Board since any paid member can run, these experienced members almost always become the next officers of the teachHOUSTON Student Society.
