Dear HESSGA Presidents
The Students have spoken!
They have placed their trust in you to represent them in the Student Government mission.
What is the Student Government mission?
It is to organize activities and represent the students to achieve the Academy’s mission, which is:
To provide students with quality education that focuses on the Michigan core curriculum and international cultures, including the study of a language, culture, and history different from one’s own.
The purpose and goal of the Student Government are to develop those qualities of citizenship necessary for the preservation of our democratic system by providing students both the responsibilities and privileges of participating in a republican form of democracy within the confines of the school. It shall allow students to voice their ideas in the planning of activities that affect the general welfare of our school and students. Members shall act as ambassadors to our community through service.
