Reminders Student Government Workshop!

Hello everyone!! Brooklyn Technical High School is a school that is heavily operated by students in Student Government Officials (SGO) and we want to make the Brooklyn Tech Community as safe and welcoming as possible. However, we know that not many students have an idea of what SGO is and what we do. This year, we have decided to host a workshop that will hopefully be informative to any students that may be curious about how SGO operates and/or anyone who is interested in joining SGO.

Highly recommend freshman or sophomore interested in running a government position to attend this meeting. It will help answer a lot of your questions

The workshop goes over information such as... - Who are the current executives and what do they do? - Who are the COSAs and how do they help? - What are the different branches of SGO and what do they do? - How to join SGO and what are the perks/responsibilities?

If you are interested in coming to our workshop, come to room 2N4 on Thursday September 19th at 3:45

Please fill out this form if you would like to attend!
