STUDENT HANDBOOK - Half Hollow Hills

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The Half Hollow Hills High School East Student Government is an organization devoted to the good and
welfare of both the school and the community. With that purpose in mind, social and service activities are
organized, funds are allocated and student government elections are held. Meetings are open to all students and
faculty members who are invited to participate in discussions at weekly meetings.
The Student Government consists of an Executive Board of Class Officers and a Student Senate. The
Executive Board meets weekly and the Senate meets monthly.
The Executive board of Class Officers consists of a Chairperson and a Class President, Vice-President,
Secretary, Treasurer and Delegate. The Class Officers and Chairperson will be elected by school-wide
election.
The Student Senate consists of a representative from each social studies class and each extracurricular club.
Each senator will be elected by his/her class or club.
The Chairperson may be a junior or a senior and serves as the leader of both branches of Student Government.
To run for a Class Government office, a potential candidate must present a petition signed by 50 classmates.
Besides the student petition, the candidate and his/her parents sign a petition which indicates that they will
adhere to the following:
Officers must demonstrate academic competency and maintain passing averages in all classes.
Officers must demonstrate good character and behavior appropriate for a student leader. Officers
who receive any form of suspension will be removed from office.
Officers must attend regularly scheduled Student Government and class meetings.
Officers must attend and participate in the planning of all activities of Student Government and the
class they represent.
Failure to maintain these standards will result in removal from office.
During the week prior to student elections, students running for office will be profiled in a designated
showcase as per Student Government guidelines.
