School Constitution

The Crescent School Constitution was drafted by the Class of 2012 to ensure that all students are aware of and able to enjoy their fundamental rights perpetually.

We, the people, have drafted this document to outline the values, organization and leadership structure of the student community. In addition, this Constitution defines the positions and the selection process for student leaders and enshrines the Declaration of Student Rights as providing the guiding principles for that process.
