SELECTION CRITERIA & REQUIREMENTS
Thank you for your interest in applying for membership in the Leadership Skills Development class for the
school year 2022-2023 Olympic Heights’ Student Government exists to promote school spirit, student
engagement, participation, service, leadership, personal growth and representative democracy. By applying,
you are pledging yourself to furthering this mission. You are required to uphold Olympic Heights standards
both in class, out of class and online!
❖ You agree to hold yourself to exemplary ethical and moral standards. Participation in Student
Government (henceforth referred to as SGA) and Leadership Skills Development is considered a
“privileged” class and position.
❖ It is also considered an elective credit. You will be held to the standards, and agree to accept the
consequences, outlined in the Parent/Student Handbook.
❖ You understand that your selection will require you to enroll in the Leadership Skills Development class
which is 5
th
period.
❖ It is highly recommended that you have and maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 prior to and throughout your
tenure in SGA.
❖ You agree to abide by the Constitution of the Olympic Heights Community High School SGA.
❖ You understand that you must not have any disciplinary referrals in the current school year and that any
disciplinary referrals you receive after your selection may result in your removal from the class.
❖ Previous selection for the Leadership Skills Development class or election to office in prior years is no
guarantee of selection for subsequent years.
❖ Student Council activities can only be successful with the hard work of dedicated members. It’s not
easy, but it will be fun and rewarding.
❖ Students will submit applications by the due date for next year’s class. Applications will be screened
prior to selection for eligibility.
❖ All members of the Leadership class are expected to report to school the week prior to the official start
of the school year, before the rest of the student body, to prepare for the start of school, as scheduled
by your advisor.
❖ Additionally, we may meet occasionally during summer vacation.
❖ SGA does take up a lot of time but has down time in between big events. You must be willing to at
times give up free time or be flexible (like lunches, after school, before school and weekends) as
necessary to assist, though this does not happen often.
❖ You are expected to plan and work on SGA events, even during times when you would rather eat lunch
with your friends or go home immediately after school. By becoming part of this organization, you are
volunteering to work so that your peers and you can have fun.
❖ Being a leader sometimes means doing what is RIGHT, even if it is not POPULAR. You must be
comfortable getting up before your peers and telling them what they may not want to hear. For
example, the Student Council will sponsor programs to encourage students to make responsible
choices.
❖ You must be honestly and credibly able to get up in front of your peers and hold yourself up as an
example of responsible physical, moral, and legal behavior.
Below please provide any additional information that will help decide on your eligibility and potential position
within the SGA Leadership Skills Development Class:
Below are the 10 categories for Projects of the Year that we as Student Government Association Members
will develop, implement and evaluate throughout the year. Please pick two categories and complete a
project summary form (on the other side) with your application.
1. Citizenship Development – Projects intended to foster better behavior, patriotism, or the
acceptance of citizenship responsibilities. Projects designed to reduce absenteeism and improve
multi-cultural understanding, and voter’s registration drives are just a few examples in this
category.
2. Community Service – Any project, the intent of which is to benefit the community outside of
the school. Projects that benefit hospitals, humane societies, or homes for abused children are
just a few examples in this category.
3. Environmental Concerns – Projects emphasizing awareness education in recycling, anti-litter,
responsible demonstrations, etc.
4. Faculty-Staff Relations – Those projects intended to raise faculty morale or improve relations
between the faculty and staff and the student council.
5. Fundraising – Projects that the intent of which is to add funds to the council treasury. This could
also include projects intended to raise funds for a charity. (Monies raised should not affect the
quality of the project.)
6. Health and Safety – Projects that deal with any number of health problems which are
particularly destructive to high school students. Included but not limited to tobacco, alcohol
and/or drug use, eating disorders, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, acts of violence
and automobile safety.
7. Membership Motivation – Any project intended to motivate the members of the council or
increase participation in the council. Lock-ins, workshops, speakers, individualized slide shows
are just a few examples.
8. School Service – Those projects intended to be of direct benefit to the school or student body.
School clean-up or beautification, tutoring, orientation and new student buddy programs are
examples.
9. School Spirit – Projects intended to raise school pride or increase involvement in school
activities (Please do not use a pep rally as a project, also lock-ins are not allowed on campus)
10. The State Project – Each year the FASC President suggests and the FASC Executive Board adopts
a state project. The state project is usually general and may fit into another category just as
well. For example, a state project could be combating illiteracy or AIDS Awareness.
