Guided by Quaker beliefs in stewardship, simplicity, and social justice, George School commits itself to awakening all members of our community to the wonder of the natural world and to our shared responsibility to care for it well. Such are the aims of the Environmental Stewardship Steering Committee. To provide support in the accomplishment of its mission, the ESSC has created seven student leadership positions, two of which are filled by student council members. ESSC student leaders attend ESSC meetings on a regular basis, serve as liaisons between the committee and student groups, assist in the generation of actionable ideas, and help coordinate and carry out committee goals. In addition, ESSC student leaders are expected to act as role models to others in regards to issues of environmental sustainability, letting their lives speak to the importance of developing habits of living that show regard for the natural world in which we all live.

Because prefects, like all student leaders, are expected to model positive, rule-abiding, and respectful behavior for other students on campus, prefects who violate a major school rule are generally removed from their prefect position.

The Student Activities Board is a group of students who have been selected to help create wonderful weekend activities for all boarding and day students. They must be aware of activities in and around the campus as well as hear the suggestions from the current student body of activities that students would like to do or see happen on weekends. These students will also work closely with the faculty and the deans who are on duty for the weekends to insure that activities go smoothly.

Each week, day and boarding representatives from each class meet with Student Council faculty sponsors to discuss campus concerns. In addition to nominating students to serve on various school committees, Student Council members act as ambassadors between the student community and the George School faculty and staff.

Founded by George School students in 1971 and sponsored by two student-selected faculty members, SAGE is a student-run organization of peer counselors who are trained to listen, give support, share information, and make referrals. SAGE encourages students to speak to them on such issues as eating disorders, depression, date rape, addiction, stress management, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), problem-solving, and family matters.

SAGE members are always available to talk. On Friday and Saturday nights, members staff the SAGE Room, a drop-in center located in the basement of Marshall Center near the day student locker room area. SAGE members work closely with the Student Health and Wellness Center staff. Adults, specifically the deans and duty faculty, monitor the SAGE room whenever it is open. SAGE members maintain strict confidentiality, except in situations when good sense, caring, and school policy require immediate referral. SAGE members contact the nurse on duty immediately if a student reports to the SAGE room under the influence of any drug, alcohol, or tobacco substance.
