Pasadena Unified School District Launches Third Round of Student Assembly Elections

Pasadena Unified School District has opened the District’s third round of student elections, inviting all currently enrolled high school students to apply to run for seats in the Student Assembly and Council. This initiative seeks to ensure student voices shape District-level decisions and provide a platform for peer representation and leadership development.

“This is your chance to make an impact, grow as a leader, and represent your peers,” Pasadena Unified School District announced in its call for applications.

Currently enrolled Pasadena Unified School District high school students can apply to run in the elections to be representatives in the Student Assembly and Council. Each grade in all six high schools will elect one representative to the Student Assembly, making a total of 24 students. The six junior year Assembly members will also serve on the Council and will rotate in attending Pasadena Unified School District Board meetings.

Applications are due by midnight, Sunday, September 29.

Students can learn more and apply at pusd.us/StudentAssembly.

The Student Assembly commitment includes regular attendance at District-wide Assembly meetings and weekly in-person meetings on each campus with Assembly and Council members from the school and the school’s advisor during school hours.

Elected Council members take on additional responsibilities: they lead weekly Assembly meetings on their campus and attend two Pasadena Unified School District Board of Education meetings at the District office.

Pasadena Unified School District’s Student Think Tank supports the Student Assembly and oversees elections.

For any questions regarding the election process, students are encouraged to contact Student Assembly Members, Student Think Tank Members, or reach out directly via email at sarwar.sehba@pusd.us or on Instagram at @pusdthinktank.
