Student Board Members

Selection Procedures

The Sophomore class will be notified of the need for one Board member each spring.

Eligibility

A record of high quality behavior and citizenship.

 Applications will be made available to eligible candidates in April.

Applicants will be asked to write a brief essay expressing their reasons for applying and the contribution they hope to make.

Applications will be reviewed by a committee of the Principal, the Board chair and vice chairand the high school administrative team in May.  Interviews with prospective candidates will be conducted during May.

Recommendations will be brought to the Board for approval, no later than the first Board meeting in June.  Applications and essays will be available for Board review prior to board approval.

In the event that a Student Board Member’s seat is vacated prior to the expiration of that student’s term, the Board will request the Selection Committee to review applications for the appropriate seat (juniors for the Junior seat and seniors for the Senior seat).  If no suitable candidate is available from the most recent application pool, the Board will request new applications from the appropriate class.  An abbreviated time schedule will be followed in order to seat the new Student Board member as quickly as possible (two weeks for applications, one week for reviews, and one week for interviews).
