Student Government replicates practices utilized in government. Executive Officers run for their positions in elections and Cabinet/Committee Members are appointed through application and interviews.
Student government is a student-led organization that is charged with continuously expanding and planning student activities, developing communication among students, faculty, and administration, and improving school spirit and morale.
SGA provides leadership opportunities for students.
Elections are held yearly for the following school year.
