Student Government

 

The responsibilities of the student government of DMCS are many and varied. They include promoting the Christian atmosphere of the school; sponsoring school social activities; fostering communication; advising the principal; and working with the staff, faculty and administration to improve the overall quality of the school.  We have established effective qualities for leadership as outlined in I Tim. 4:12 – Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. The student body nominates their peers who they believe do an effective job of living out these qualities on a daily basis.  All full-time students are eligible to be members of the Student Government.  The list of nominated students is then given to the faculty to review.  The faculty may remove any student they believe is not an effective example of the leadership qualities.  The remaining students on this list are then invited to participate in student government.  

 

Student government runs as a council with all members having equal authority.  The council is facilitated by the senior class representatives.  Student government representatives are involved in leadership development opportunities throughout the year to help them develop into more effective leaders.
