Student Government Association (SGA)
The Luxmanor SGA serves the student body by representing the variety of opinions and interests of the students, aiding communication between the students and staff, and generating school spirit through SGA-sponsored activities. It is an elected group, made up of SGA officers, and special office representatives. The SGA meets monthly.
Luxmanor’s SGA Faculty Sponsors are Ms. Gloria Silverberg and Mrs. Carolyn Tharpe-Robinson.
The Student Government has led the school in many service activities supporting local needs. This year began with a Kids Helping Kids Food Drive where we collected many pounds of food for Manna Food Center. In February, we will be collecting money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Association’s Pennies for Patients. Our students also participated in a Walk for the Homeless which raised funds for the Stepping Stones Shelter. Luxmanor’s students have enjoyed giving back to the community and knowing they are contributing to others’ welfare.
