Student Government

Middle School Government’s (MSG) function is to organize a range of student activities (e.g. social events, fundraisers, community service projects), to communicate student perspectives to the community at large, and to provide hands-on leadership opportunities and experiences for middle school students.

In addition to the four officers who are elected in a division-wide vote in May of the prior school year, MSG is composed of a representative from each advisory in grades 5 and 6, and two to four at-large representatives in each of the grades 7 and 8 who are elected at the beginning of the school year. The officers and representatives meet bi-monthly with their faculty representatives to organize their work. Representatives have the responsibility of communicating pertinent MSG information to their respective grade levels, actively participating in the planning and execution of MSG projects and events, and effectively demonstrating the values inherent in the honor code through word and deed.

An installation ceremony is held during the first two weeks of school to honor the elected officers and representatives.
