Clubs & Activities

Our clubs and activities can change year to year, depending on the interests of our classes and our individual girls. Encouraging and enabling students to advocate for efforts in which they believe is fundamental to our school culture.

Student Government

Through self-government, students enjoy opportunities for developing self-knowledge, self-discipline, and citizenship. Student Body Government is responsible for school affairs within its province of authority. Final decisions on matters of school policy and philosophy are in the hands of the School’s faculty, administration and Board of Trustees.

The Student Council is made up of representatives elected by each class, the Student Council President and Vice President (elected by the student body), faculty representatives, and the Dean of Students. If a student violates the Honor Code, she goes before the Student Council which decides, with faculty guidance, if some disciplinary action will be taken. The McGehee community believes that this system encourages students to accept responsibility for their own actions and for their community, and to develop concern for others. The Honor Code gives each student the chance to grow and mature in an atmosphere of trust and self-discipline.
