About the SGA

Student Government Association Representatives gather for a photo

The Student Government Association (SGA) is the official representative of the HCHC student body and aims to strengthen our religious, intellectual, and social responsibilities as well as to coordinate the shared desires of the students. The SGA is the self-governing parent organization of several smaller organizations and committees under its auspices, including the Campus Activities Board, Married Student Association, Spiritual Life Committee, Athletics Committee, as well as many other programs and committees. Together, these organizations form a mutual effort to provide spiritual, social, and communal activities. Download the SGA Constitution to learn more.

The SGA is committed to hearing student concerns on current issues and facilitating the necessary communication regarding these issues for the furthering of HCHC's Mission: is the formation and the education of the person within the life of an Orthodox Christian community.

Our Mission
