The most recent version at Newark High School of a "student council" or "student government" organization was introduced during the 2002-2003 school year under the direction of Mr. Brent Freccia at the behest of then Principal Flo Rieman. One student in particular was the driving force behind the restart in petitioning the administration and securing faculty support for the restart: Meredith Mosko (Class of 2005).
The prior organization, known as the Student Government Association, was disbanded in the early 1990's with many of its responsibilities divided amongst other school organizations, most notably BAASU (which took over the Talent Show), the class councils (Spirit Week and Prom) and the Student Activities Advisory Committee (a forerunner of the modern "Sportsmanship Committee", which was placed in charge of the PepFests and Homecoming Dance).
Due to further restructuring of membership criteria (transitioning from homeroom representatives to an "open" body), the Constitution was re-written in 2004. The full text of the revised Student Government Constitution can be found here.
