Student Government Association/ Student Council

The Student Government Association is comprised of seven officers elected by the entire student body. SGA organizes and runs the meetings of the Student Council. Student Council is an organization of elected officers from each class who provide leadership in student affairs. SGA and the Council act as the liaison with school administration on matters of policy, school spirit and community service. Homecoming activities, The Miss BK Pageant, Chili Cook-Off, and the two annual pep rallies are some of the projects coordinated by these organizations. The Student Council strives to promote harmonious relations throughout the school and provides a forum for student expression through the assistance of student representatives. Two of the SGA officers also serve on the School Improvement Team.

Meetings: SGA and the Council meet at least once per month; more often for planning events.

Qualifications: Minimum GPA of 2.5, satisfactory recommendations, good standing with the Deans’ Office, an interview, and election by the student body; SGA officers must be in their junior or senior year and have served at least one prior year as a class officer.

Enrollment Deadline: Elections for SGA offices and for officers of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes are held in the spring of the previous year. Current freshman class elections take place in the fall.

Leadership Opportunities: Each grade elects a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and two Senators. The SGA is made up of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, two Senior Senators, and one Junior Senator. Members participate in an annual leadership retreat day.
