Leadership

Leading With Empathy

Students have a variety of leadership opportunities to pursue within the Student Life Office, where they can be elected to the Student Council, selected to be Proctors, serve on the Honor Board, become International Ambassadors, or contribute to the Student Activities Council. All student leaders serve as positive role models and exemplify the New Hampton School leadership qualities of respectfulness, approachability, and integrity.

  • Student Council

    The Student Council is advised by a faculty member and led by the Student Body President. With the help of the faculty Class Deans, the Student Council members run Class Meetings and help with the planning and execution of weekend activities. They lead School Meetings, create School pride, and serve as liaisons between students and School administration. Class President elections are held each spring, except for the freshman class election, which occurs in the fall. Student Council Reps, two from each class, are also elected every fall.
  • Proctors

    Proctors focus on building positive relationships amongst all students in the house. They help manage relationships within house and assist younger/new students with the challenges of family life at a boarding school. Proctors serve the community during Orientation, House Meetings and study hall, and other House-related events.
  • Honor Board

    The Honor Board is responsible for assessing violations, and for recommending responses and/or consequences. The Student Honor Board Chair and Honor Board Members show deep understanding of the Honor Code and Major School Expectations. They represent the student voice at Honor Board meetings and are expected to maintain a high level of confidentiality.

    International Ambassadors may be either domestic or international students.
