STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND ACTIVITIES
Bishop Alemany High School Associated Student Body
Objective: The Bishop Alemany Student Government and Student Activities/Special Events work simultaneously to develop skillful and experienced student leaders through a variety of hands-on opportunities. The Associated Student Body Elective Class is designed to teach effective leadership and team building across the four grade levels. The numerous student activities held over the course of the year provide additional leadership opportunities through student clubs, teams, intramurals, and special events.
Student Government: The Student Government at Bishop Alemany is composed of two groups: Elected Officers (Student Body and Class) and Commissioners. Each position has a unique set of responsibilities; however, all positions work together to form the Associated Student Body.
The Associated Student Body (ASB) is an opportunity for students to be involved in the day–to-day governance of Alemany and in a variety of special events. The ASB class represents the entire student body population and acts as a liaison to the Administration and community. The ASB class works to assist in furthering the school’s mission, provide constructive input, and design and coordinate student activities and community events.
Executive Student Body Officers: Current school year Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors elect the ASB President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The newly elected ASB Officers take part in interviewing and appointing the ASB Class Commissioners.
The ASB Officers spend an average of 8 to 15 hours per week planning and overseeing school events, including but not limited to: Athletic Events, Rallies, Dances, Intramurals, School Spirit, and Community Outreach Events.
Class Officers: Each class elects its own President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. These offices have a set of duties unique to their class needs and require additional time commitment outside of the regular class hours. Fundraising is required at each class level and is a yearlong effort. Class Officers report to both the ASB Director and their Class Moderator.
Commissioners: Students interested in serving as an ASB Commissioner apply and interview for a position in the class. It is the goal of the ASB Director and Elected Officers to identify and appoint students with a variety of talents who accurately represent the student population and student interests. Time commitments outside of the regular school day are required and vary over the course of the school year.
Eligibility For Elections
Students interested in seeking candidacy for an executive ASB Office or a Class Office must meet the eligibility requirements as defined for current elections. Students on academic or disciplinary probation are not eligible to hold ASB or Class Office.
