Head Waiters

Faculty Advisor: Mrs. Connors

Student Contacts:

The goal of the Lunch and Dinner Head Waiters is to organize and conduct the mid-day and evening meals in a smooth and efficient manner. Additionally, Head Waiters are responsible for making announcements to the student body, taking attendance at the meals, and supporting the school dress code for the student body. These positions require that the Head Waiter be able to deal with faculty and students in a pleasant, sometimes authoritative, way. In effect, the Head Waiters deal with the entire school twice a day five days a week.

Head Waiter is also the only leadership position that requires a student to “try out” . Students who indicate interest in this position work with a current Head Waiter for a week. After all candidates have auditioned, the Head Waiters evaluate their performances and the final candidates are chosen.

The long and short term goals, for the most part are constant: to keep a meal running smoothly

Honesty and integrity, dependability, the ability to anticipate problems, flexibility, and a sense of humor are necessary qualities. Head Waiters must also work well together. The team work that comes from this is a kind of leadership in itself.
