Associated Student Body ASB is a school group of elected student leaders. The purpose of ASB is to provide campus leadership, plan student events, promote better student relations, and raise funds for student activities.

The Executive Council with guidance from the Dean of Student Life, helps to facilitate ASB meetings and oversees individual class councils which consist of elected grade level presidents, vice presidents, secretarys, and treasurers. Club representatives and elected/appointed commissioners may also participate in ASB meetings.
ASB is responsible for annual fundraisers, planning dances, organizing community service projects, and helping with school improvement projects.Class Officers are responsible for promoting pride within the school and its community. Like ASB, class officers will represent all students and work as a team to accomplish student council goals. Class officers work with ASB to create an effective academic community.
