Student self-governance is at the heart of Indian Springs School and its traditions. Elections for student government are held in the middle and at the end of each year, following speeches given at a Town Meeting. Our student government consists of several offices:
Mayor
The duty of the mayor is to provide leadership for the community “in building a greater understanding of the aims and purposes of the community.” He or she is also responsible for running student government meetings, making sure that the commissioners are doing their jobs, leading Town Meetings, and dealing with problems within the community.
The mayor for Fall 2005 is senior Lee Pantazis.
Commissioners of Protection
The Commissioners of Protection ensure everyone's safety while at school. In addition to enforcing the rules in the Read and Heed , they serve, along with the proctors, as the student leaders in the dorm circle.
Protection commissioners for Fall 2005 are seniors Jake Yun and Aljosha Barath.
Commissioners of Recreation
The Commissioners of Recreation provide entertainment on campus, including after-school and weekend activities. They also organize Lake Day, Student Concerts, and D-Day activities.
Recreation commissioners for Fall 2005 are seniors Brett Janich and Reese Feist.
Commissioners of Services
The Commissioners of Services main responsibility is to run the student store throughout the day. They also put up the flag every morning.
Services commissioners for Fall 2005 are senior John Bains and junior Ivy Duggan.
Commissioners of Citizenship
The Commissioners of Citizenship find speakers and organize projects for D-Day, and they keep the students informed of any service projects around the school and community. They also run orientation at the beginning of the year and are involved with Washington Day Camp.
Citizenship commissioners for Fall 2005 are seniors Allen Hunter and Shaina Shealy.
Commissioners of Education
The Commissioners of Education run the tutoring system, as well as the book sale. They also sit in on Academic Committee meetings and help students with any problems they might have in the classroom.
Education commissioners for Fall 2005 are juniors Esther Ha and Jane Latham Hodges.
Class Representatives
Class representatives represent their grades in student government meetings, organize class activities and class trip, and help their classmates with any problems they might have.
8th Grade Reps: To be elected soon for the Fall semester
9th Grade Reps: Freddie Delchamps and Evan Pantazis
10th Grade Reps: Mylei Kim and Crystal Shurett
11th Grade Reps: Esther Ha and Jane Latham Hodges
Judiciary
With self-government comes responsibility for self-discipline. The Judiciary is a group of students that hear the cases of students who have received "records" and decide what punishment or discipline the student should receive. Only extreme violations of school policy are dealt with by the administration without the judiciary.
Student members of the Judiciary for Fall 2005 include seniors Alex Bradford, Allen Hunter, Demi Lorant, Carter McClean, Lee Pantazis, Cari Stayer, and Kelly Stewart, and juniors Peter Horn and Jung Yup Lee..
