Associated Student Body (ASB)
ASB stands for Associated Student Body and it represents the interests and
goals of the entire Preuss School Student Body. Currently there are two ASB
classes - one for middle school to develop leadership skills and a high school
class that is part elected and part appointed. Students who enroll in ASB do
so because they recognize that there is more to being successful in school than
simply doing homework. Having a positive atmosphere during the school day where
students feel wanted and accepted is critical to their success. To that end,
the officers and appointed members of the ASB class focus on providing engaging
activities that ensure a well-rounded high school experience.
Students in ASB plan, organize, and participate in such activities as formal
and informal dances, Homecoming, Spirit Week, grade-level competitions, community
awareness projects, cultural events, and Staff Recognition throughout the year.
Most of the funds for ASB come from the student-run vending program where snacks
and drinks are made available to students after their lunch break and on Saturday
during SEA.
Students must maintain high academic and citizenship grades to remain in the
class and are additionally required to work approximately 10 hours each month
outside of the class. Students are elected or appointed to the class each spring
for the following school year. If you are interested in being a leader at Preuss,
consider running for an office or applying to be appointed to the class.
