Students please remember, your duties will include exemplifying and upholding the QHST school-wide values and the values of the QHST Community. When you are part of our student government it requires emotional maturity and commitment to your role as a student leader, as well as responsibility to our school values. You will be expected to attend Student Government meetings.
Student governments take on a wide range of responsibilities, and a role can vary greatly depending on the school and its needs. The group of student that join student government focuses on representing the best interests of the student body and help shape the student experience. It is common for students to think that their student government is not necessary, but without student government, many of the aspects of the high school life that they enjoy exist and continue because of student government.
