I have met with the Activities Director and I understand the expectations and responsibilities of the job and title for which I am running. I also understand that the activities director has the right to remove me from my office if I neglect my responsibilities, become a distraction to the ASB class, or conduct myself in a manner inconsistent with the expectation of student leaders and their roles as model students at MTHS.
