Student Council And Headmaster's Senate How does one describe student government at EHS? The term most used by people when interviewed was the student voice. Indeed, the Student Council and the newly-formed Headmaster's Senate are the bodies that communicate the students' desires and concerns. The Student Council mainly concerns itself with extra-curricular activities. With a little extra fundraising the Student Council was able to bring the exceptional band Innovations to entertain for the Homecoming Dance. The Student Council continued its sale of EHS sweatshirts and other paraphernalia. The Council, along with the cheerleaders, also contributed to the New Student Orientation, performing skits and playing guides as new students visited the campus. New efforts were made this year in improving middle school-high school relations, and from these efforts (mostly masterminded by President Troy Fuhrman) came the Big Brother Big Sister program and the Sen-ior 6th grade eet-together. Said Troy, It was time to lessen the gap between the middle school and the high school, ana I believe that these programs are a step in the right direction. Student government took another step in the right direction with the creation of the Headmaster's Senate. Unlike the Student Council, the Headmaster's Senate (made up of three faculty-chosen members per grade, 10-12, plus the Student Body President) meets with Fr. Hancock to discuss issues involving school policies, regulations and the like. Said Fr. Hancock, I felt that therte was a need for the students to understand the how's and why's of the administration's decisions and policies. The Senate is now fulfilling this need. The Senate discussed such issues as uniform and alcohol regulations, and it was important in the bringing about of next year's new Honor Code. In an exclusive interview with Accolade, Senate member Mark Stuckey said, It is true that the Senate doesn't seem to have much impact on student affairs right now. But it does cut down on ill with caused by misunderstanding between the students and the administration, and so in that light the Senate's primary goal is being accomplished. As the Senate is improved upon with time, its effect will become far more visible on campus.
