The Principal and NHS Advisor will then notify the candidates of the decision in a timely fashion. A formal induction ceremony and reception will be held in the spring for all inductees.

Once selected into the NHS, a member must maintain the characteristics of service, leadership, scholarship, and character, including 20 hours of service during a school year beyond that which won his/her selection.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT Student Government at PRHS is a co-curricular activity whose goal is to provide students with the opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to be a responsible and productive citizen within a democratic society. The focus of Student Government activities will be on empowering students to take control of their lives while contributing to the betterment of fellow citizens. 142
The name Student Government is meant to be inclusive of all activities that offer students firsthand experience involving government at the High School, local, state, and national levels. The objectives of Student Government include activities that promote school spirit and pride, the development of leadership skills, and participation in the governing of the high school. Participation will be promoted through the creation of joint committees between students, school board, and the administration. 1. Elections – Student Government Senators and Class Officers shall be elected during the May advisory for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade positions. Ninth grade positions will be elected on the fourth Tuesday of September. The entire student body will be invited to vote via appropriate ballots, which will be available at the polls. All elected Senators and class officers will serve a one (1) year term from the time of election. 2. Student Government Senators (four per class – 16 representatives). These elected Senators will be responsible for organizing, promoting, and implementing Student Government activities, programs, and committees. 3. Student School Board Representatives (two representatives). Two members of the Student Government will be selected to represent the student body at all school board meetings. The representatives will be responsible for briefing all elected officials on School Board activities and will present student body concerns to the School Board as needed. 4. Class Officers, Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 (four per class – 16 officers). Each class will elect a President, Vice-President, Communications Coordinator, and Secretary who will tend to class activities and interests in conjunction with each Head Class Advisor. These elected officials are expected to attend all Student Government meetings in order to brief the Student Government as to class activities and concerns. 5. Student Government Executives (four executives). A President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary will be elected exclusively by members of Student Government. The executives will manage and administrate Student Government agenda via proper parliamentary procedure. The elections will take place on the second Tuesday of May. Eligibility To be eligible to run for an executive or officer position, students must have an overall “70” average, have no in-school or out-of-school suspensions on their record, and have no academic honesty issues (i.e. plagiarism or cheating) on their record. Once elected, Student Government Senators and Executives must maintain an overall “70” average or they will be removed from office. If a Student Government Senator or Executive receives an in-school or out-of-school suspension, or violates a school policy, a meeting will be held with the Administration and the Student Government Advisors to decide if the student should remain in office. Vacancies due to removal or resignation shall be filled by special election. Students removed from office may not run for office again during the remainder of the academic year. SCHOOL SERVICES ANNOUNCEMENTS Announcements are distributed daily to teachers via email, and are read to students at the beginning of school over the intercom. ASSEMBLIES Assemblies are held periodically during the school year. Advance notice of the program is normally given. Attendance at assemblies is mandatory. This includes students who are on Earned Time. Students are to be courteous and polite to the performers or persons involved in the program and helpful to any guests who may be attending. Talking and fooling around is considered extremely rude. Students who cannot behave during the program will stand the chance of not being able to attend future assembly programs or face other disciplinary actions. Classes will pass to the assembly at intervals beginning with the North Wing. Teachers will sit with the class they are assigned to as an advisor so they can monitor behavior and insure safety for all attending the assembly program. EATING FACILITIES The cafeteria serves as a multiple-use facility, but its primary function is providing a place to eat. It also provides a place to relax and enjoy a fellow student’s company. It has been the policy at Plymouth Regional High School to maintain a relaxed and informal atmosphere. However, a few common sense rules must be followed for everyone’s health and safety. Any abuse of the lunch facilities could result in the removal of lunch privileges. 1. Do not sit on tables 2. Do not throw food 3. Pick up or clean up anything you drop or spill A wide variety of healthy, nutritious foods are available during scheduled breakfast, break and lunch times. Many low- and fat-free items are available: fresh fruit and vegetables, deli sandwiches, and snacks. Free and reduced price meal applications can be obtained from the Main Office at anytime throughout the school year. 143
