Sailor Senate Members must maintain good standing and may be removed from office by the school administration for habitual disruptive behavior, major infractions, or poor attendance at Sailor Senate meetings.

Class Officers

At the beginning of each school year, every class will hold a vote to elect class officers for that year. The positions include President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Class officers are responsible for leading class meetings and organizing class activities, such as Homecoming events, dance preparations, and graduation arrangements. To maintain their positions, class officers must be in good standing. They may be removed from office by school administration for habitual disruptive behavior, major behavior infractions, or poor attendance at class officer meetings.

Hope Squad

The Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program designed for students. Members of the Hope Squad are trained peers who have been nominated by their classmates to identify students who may be at risk. These members create a safe space for their peers to discuss mental health and social issues that teens commonly face, and they help connect them to resources and support. More information about the Hope Squad will be provided at the first school assembly
