Governing Advisory Board

The WASC Governing Board consists of 24 members, half of which are students and the other half of which are advisors. The twelve students on the Governing Board are the six regional presidents from the Senior High and Junior High/Middle School levels. The adults are elected regional advisors from the Senior High and Junior High/Middle School levels. The final members of the board are WASC staff, who do not vote.

The Governing Board elects an SHS and JAM State President and Vice President and Advisors who serve as SHS and JAM Coordinators. These positions, along with the WASC staff, make up the Executive Committee, which meets between Governing Board meetings.
