Student Council Expectations

Brook Haven students proudly participate in the middle school and high school tradition of student government.  Each fall four officers are elected by general students and representatives are elected from each first period class.  This group of student leaders meets regularly with the staff advisors to review student issues.  As a group and with student leadership, Student Council plans and carries out a number of activities.  You will find student council involved in community building projects, local goodwill events, and both fun-raisers and fundraisers.

All Student Council officers must:

• Have (from the preceeeding spring report card) and maintain a 3.0 gpa. If n officer’s gpa falls below a 3.0. the student will be on probation until the official progress report. If the gpa is at or above a 3.0 at the time of the progress report, the student will continue in their capacity as student body officer. If the gpa is below 3.0, the student will be removed from office and a new officer will be appointed by the student council and faculty advisor.
• Not surpass 3 detentions in one trimester.
• Complete an application packet and turn in by 3:15 on Monday, September 17. All packets must be turned by that time. If a student is absent, he or she will have until Tuesday, September 18 at 3:15 to get the packet turned in.
• Be prepared to deliver a 3 minute speech to Student Council moderators on Wednesday, September 19 at the ten minute bell in the drama room.
• Be prepared to deliver the same speech at a full school assembly on Thursday, September 20th.
• Agree to run a respectful campaign.
• Graciously accept the results of the student body elections on Friday, September 21 (to be announced at 3:00 on that day).

All officers must be present at lunchtime student council meetings on all non-shortened Wednesdays. Missing three meetings (without first checking in with student council advisor) will result in the student being removed from office and a new officer will be selected by student council members and staff advisor.
