The SGA is very active during the school year. We were responsible for the homecoming activities, also the crowning of the queen, the alumni reception, and the homecoming dance.  We also, will conduct Red Ribbon Week, will hold a Veteran's Day program. We plan to go shopping and provide Christmas for four children, as we have done in the past. We also will continue the tradition of planning and holding the Miss Straughn Pageant. During the spring, we hold a Red Cross blood drive
