Student Government
The New ETHS Student Government Structure
What: A group of non-elected students from all grade levels that work hand in hand with elected officials. Student Council is comprised of a Freshman Class Board, Sophomore Class Board, Junior Class Board, and Senior Class Board. The Student Council President, Vice President, and Student Representative to the School Board are leaders of Student Council in its entirety and class elected officials (consisting of a Class President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary) are leaders of their respective Class Boards. Thse Class Boards break out in their own class sub-groups for class specific events and projects.
Student Council runs all-school events such as Homecoming, Frosh/Soph Formal, Prom, Candy Grams, Data-Match, and all governmental affairs for ETHS.
Who can run for office?
ANYONE that is interested in making a positive difference in their class and at ETHS is encouraged to run for office. Elected officials have greater responsibilities and time commitments than general members. Elections for the Sophomore-Senior classes are held in the spring prior to your reigning year. Freshman elections are held in september.
Class Board
A group of students representing their class in government and spirit, there is a Class Board for EACH GRADE LEVEL. Each Class Board is run by their class elected officials: President, Vice-President Treasurer and Secretary. Each Class Board will be in charge of a large school event (Prom, Homecoming, Frosh/Soph Formal, etc.), a class community service project, school and class initiatives of their choosing as well as be the voice and link to the administration for their class. There are teacher sponsors for each class board.
Don't want to run for office but still want to be involved?
Join your class board and be a general member of the ETHS Student Council! Anyone can join their class board to help with their class initiatives.

Looking for a student that is interested and able to be the main voice for his or her class. This student needs to be a natural leader both in the classroom and in their clubs and activities.

The Vice-President needs to be able to assist the President in being a leader for their class and needs to be able to reach out to all different groups of students within their grade level
