It is an honor and a privilege to serve as a Bike Monkey. Students are admitted to the program after passing the training program, and then being evaluated by a group of teachers. The current Bike Monkey program is lead by teacher (and SBMS alum) Jesse Kasehagen. Past leaders have been former Headmaster Kent Ferguson, SBMS alum and former teacher Brian Bargiel, former teacher Windy Wagoner, and teacher John Seigel Boettner. Each year the Monkeys elect a Captain or Co-Captains from within their ranks; for 2010-11 the Co-Captains are Morgan and Curtis.
