Dear HESSGA Presidents

 

The Students have spoken!

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.

 

President is responsible for the operation and running of the student government within the academy. He/She will represent the SG while communicating with the Academy’s administration. The President will preside over all SG Executive and SG Legislative meetings. The qualifications of the President include the following:

5. Represent students at local, district, and state functions as requested.

6. Create any special committee that is needed or requested by the chairman.

7. Ensure the compliance of all officers with Student Government Code of Conduct and with their duties as detailed in the Student Government Constitution.

8. Must be able to motivate, delegate and prioritize to be effective and efficient.

 

What is next:

 

  1. Access your student government email. (you should have received the password to your personal email)
  2. Form your cabinet from the list of student government members provided to you by email.
  3. Send this list to Mr. Charafeddine by 11/8/2017.

  6. Preside over your SG executive committee meetings weekly during lunch.
  7. Prepare for the next legislative meeting.
  8. Prepare for setting your three goals for this year.

 

I am proud to be your mentor, alongside the leadership of the Deans of Students and your Principal in school. Feel free to contact me at any time for support, assistance, or guidance.
