Student Forum
Jane Rosser, Ann Castro, Trellys Graber, and Amy Suggs

Student Forum is student government that provides students a voice in the decision making process as related to student/school needs and concerns. The students will be campaigning in their respective grade levels, and will be broadcasting "political" speeches via the school video system. The students, throughout the school, will be voting for their desired candidates. The candidates have guidelines to follow as far as academic requirements and time commitments.

The 8th grade will also participate in a mock Presidential Convention and election in order to truly understand the electoral process followed by the National Government. The Student Forum members will work together, representing all three grade levels, to make decisions for the school. The Student Forum process will begin towards the end of September with elections in October.
