92019-2020 FHS Associated Student Body Leadership Contract
Franklin High School has high expectations for all students, especially Associated Student
Body Officers and Class Officers.
Expectations for All ASB Officers and Class Officers:
All ASB Officers and Class Officers will maintain academic eligibility in order to hold office.
Any ineligible officers will be put on academic probation for four weeks, and if ineligibility
persists after four weeks, the officer will then lose their position.
All members will uphold the highest integrity as a student of FHS, knowing that they are
seen as role models for the student body. If there is an infraction of school rules, then the
punishment will be more severe than for the general population. Major infractions could
result in loss of the ASB position or class position.
Attendance of all academic classes is expected. Always remember you are a student leader
and a role model for your fellow students.
All supplies, equipment, and student store items are to be treated with the utmost respect.
Under no circumstances may any ASB or Class Officer profit from or gain anything from
their ASB or class position. Members are expected to pay for all activities and items, the
same as any other student.
All ASB Officers and Class Officers must make every effort to enroll in the Student
Government Class for the entire school year. In the event the officer’s schedule does not
permit him/her to enroll in the class, the officer must agree and adhere to a written
meeting schedule with other ASB Officers or Class Officers before the elected officer may
retain their position.
I, the undersigned, have read, understand, and agree to abide by the expectations for all FHS
ASB Officers and Class Officers for the 2019-2020 school-year. Furthermore, I understand that
a violation of any of the expectations stated in this document or the Franklin High School Code
