The founding principles of the Student Government Association of the Donoho School are to:

-promote democratic experiences through student participation in school affairs

- promote worthwhile services to the student body and the school

-]conduct recreational and social activities as are deemed necessary and desirable

-promote school-wide citizenship, development, and good relations among students

The Student Government Association is made up of a President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer who are elected by students in grades 8 – 12 during the spring of the year preceding their service. Four class officers for upcoming grades 9-12 are elected shortly after the first election. The officers, who serve as the membership of the SGA, are the President, Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer and the Member-at-Large. Meetings are required to be held at least once a month throughout the year but are often more frequent when projects require.
