If you’re considering running for office, here is more information about the positions that are available:

Each class traditionally has four class officers: a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. Class officers are in charge of class business. For example, junior class officers organize prom. 

In addition to class officers, there are four student council officers: a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. Student council officers (usually upperclassmen) are responsible for organizing weekly student council meetings and some school-wide events. For example, student council officers are in charge of planning Hawk Day.

For more information about the responsibilities associated with each position, see Student Council’s Constitution.
