Scholar Government - Lincoln

Self-Governance is a mindset and skill John Adams Academy scholars practice when they volunteer to participate in Scholar Government. Scholars are provided several leadership opportunities to choose from including, but not limited to, participating as a Senator or Representative in Scholar Congress, or running for office on the Scholar Cabinet (Scholar Body President, Vice-President, Secretary). To run and hold a seat of office, scholars must maintain a required minimum 3.0 G.P.A. and must continually strive to be an example of the Core Values. If a scholar falls below the required G.P.A. at any quarter grading period or is not an excellent example of the Core Values, the scholar will need to step down from office until his/her academics improve, or possibly be removed from office. (From the John Adams Academy Parent & Scholar Handbook, p. 52). 

The John Adams Academy Scholar Government is comprised of committed servant leaders whose purpose is to advance the Academy’s mission and vision throughout the school year in the context of three distinctive leadership roles:

1) Serve first, lead second

2) Plan, coordinate, and execute service learning opportunities

3) Plan, coordinate, and execute events that encourage community building and school spirit amongst John Adams Academy secondary scholars
