The Student Council consists of four seniors (the Warden, Vice Warden, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary), three representatives from the junior class, two representatives from the sophomore class and one representative from the freshman class. The freshmen class representative is elected in January.
Two elections are held each year, during the third week in May and during January, to choose members of the Student Council. Students within their own class elect council members, i.e., sophomores may vote only for sophomores, etc. In addition, faculty members may vote for council members only in the class of their choice and when present during the elections. The Warden and Vice Warden are elected by the Student Council.
