We, the students of Capital Preparatory Magnet School, in affirmation of our inherent rights and responsibilities as citizens who have selected, of our own accord, membership in this educational institution, do hereby affirm this Constitution of the Student Government of Capital Prep. In demand that our rights and interests be advocated, we entrust their defense and protection to our representative leaders, elected on our behalf under the provisions of this Constitution. We therefore charge all members of this student government to passionately defend our rightful stake in the institution. Recognizing the need to balance enduring traditions with the dynamic academic and social environment, we call upon our leaders to facilitate our active partnership with the Capital Prep faculty, staff, administration, and Trustees. It is the will of the students that complacency by any party in these matters be neither respected nor tolerated at this institution, and that the collective voice of the student body is heard.
