<p>I don't know if that's what they call the class that plans everything like rallies, dances, and school events at your school, but I'm just wondering. What kind of people get in? More the popular type or studious type? Does the class actually do anything?</p>
<p>In my school it’s called GO, and it’s an elected position (about six upperclassmen). Usually ends up with the more bubbly, outgoing type that’s usually popular by default (you know that type of personality) but not the catty type of popular. It’s a good thing really because you kind of need it in order to really do the job well.</p>
<p>We don’t have a class. SGA is an after school thing. The people who get elected are popular, so it’s a popularity contest more than anything else.</p>
<p>We have a class called senior leadership, though it is a bit different. Once in you apply/pick what you will focus on, we have people help in the library and guidance counselors office, people who TA, people who run clubs for middle schoolers and some other stuff…</p>
<p>In order to be in student council at my school, you have to be in the actual student council class. It’s an elective. They plan assemblies and dances. The popular kids are always the ones that get in. They don’t really do much. I like to call the student council class Advanced Postermaking. The freshmen have been brainwashed into believing that student council looks really good on college apps. This one girl told me that this is what’s taking her to Harvard. Smh.</p>
<p>Oh, I will enjoy writing this post! </p>
<p>My high school is the only one in the county, and we live in a rural area. So, the leadership class is taught by the Mayor of the town. (NO JOKE)</p>
<p>The leadership class…I have no idea what they do. I would never consider taking it, because I take classes I </p>
<p>1) Care about (Not that leadership isn`t important, but keep reading)
2) Will actually help get me into a good college</p>
<p>The leadership class at my high school is taken by those who have to fill up their schedule or want an easy A. Mostly those who want an easy A, because it<code>s hard to get into…fills up fast, so many want to take it…because it</code>s such an easy A.</p>
<p>That<code>s leadership class, seperate from those who plan pep-ralleys, etc. That would be SCA, in which case there is no class…we just have people who run, and then we vote. It</code>s a total popularity contest.</p>
<p>Well ours is called USB. It’s the best thing ever, because you meet so many people, both in the class and through the events you work at. We plan dances, rallies, and pretty much everything the school does.</p>
<p>there’s a pretty wide variety of people. We do have a lot of football players though. Like 5 in a class of 32. I think only 4-5 people dont play a sport. On average there’s a lot of AP and honors students. There’s a surprising amount of introverts. We take a Myers Briggs test and post the results on the wall. About half of the class is introverted, which is a lot considering the average is 30 percent of the population.</p>
<p>There is a popularity aspect to it though. Our class president and vp are immensely popular, especially the vp. But they’re outgoingly popular, and nice to everyone. Me (treasurer) and our secretary are definitely well known, but not super popular. So yes it does help to know people. However that’s not always true. Our Student body president is the valedictorian of his class that no one really likes (he’s a cool guy through) and the vp is this super socially awkward shy girl (who only won because she was unopposed and I wish she hadn’t)</p>
<p>So there you go. You should really join, you won’t regret it.</p>
<p>Hmm, interesting. You school sounds like mine with the popularity thing but not with the introvert/extrovert thing. Everybody in our leadership class is the outgoing type. I was just wondering since I’m in it this year and it’s my first year since you can’t join as a freshman unless you have an elected position.</p>
