The Student Government Association (SGA) is an organization run by the students for the students. SGA serves as the liaison between the student body and the administration. Through the SGA, students may express their opinions and participate in the management of school enterprises. SGA representatives recognize this responsibility and work diligently to represent the student body.
SGA Officers are elected by the student body at-large to lead and coordinate activities with the administrators and sponsors. Each grade level also elects a class cabinet. Elections for all offices, except freshman class cabinet, are held in the spring of the year prior to serving in office. Freshman elections are held at the beginning of the school year.
