HBC considers student life a vital part of the educational process and seeks to provide opportunities for students to apply Christian principles and democratic ideals learned in the classroom to life situations. Students are encouraged to form organizations that support Christian lifestyle, social development, career objectives, and educational opportunities with the approval of the faculty, the Chief Student Personnel Officer, and the Academic Dean.
The Student Government Association is a student organization run by students according to the constitution and bylaws approved by the student body. The Association is governed by an elected executive committee composed of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and two members-at-large. It functions to sponsor student activities, generate school spirit, and present student views on school matters to the faculty and administration.
