Services

Student Services- Prerequisite:  Elected class officer and/or approval of application.  This course is designed to provide a more responsive government system that develops leadership skills within the context of a combination elected and volunteer student council.  Students interested in running for class officers and overall student council officers will sign up for this class, meet criteria established, and be selected through a popular vote of their classmates.  Students interested in serving as representatives will apply to be in this class and will be evaluated by their current teachers to see if they meet the qualifications of a student council member.  The student service class will devote a portion of class meetings toward students council business and a portion of class meetings toward leadership.  Students are expected to complete some work outside of class.
