Student Government Link to this section
Student Government is a student-led class that gives students the opportunity to take an active role in building our school community. Students work together to plan, organize, and run school-wide events, activities, and traditions while developing leadership, communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
Student Government helps create opportunities for students across Ruth Asawa SOTA’s diverse arts and academic programs to connect, participate, and build a stronger sense of belonging. From Spirit Week and school dances to community-building events and other school traditions, Student Government students are involved in bringing ideas to life from planning through execution.
Student Government is a class for credit, not a club. Students earn a grade based on attendance, participation, organization, and their contributions to planning and running events. Membership requires students to meet school eligibility and attendance expectations and to be active, responsible members of the RASOTA community.
For questions, contact Student Government Advisor, Ms. Alvarado, alvarado-morsej@sfusd.edu.
