Does being the leader of my school's student government (For instance the Head boy) count as an Honor for common app?
Answered

IS being the head boy considered an honor or goes under the activity section?

It goes under the activities section. Anything which you devote your time to after starting it will go under activities. If you did something that led you to be being awarded a title or position, will be an honor. Hope this helps!

As others have said, this would count as an extracurricular. Hope this helps!

I would place it under activities.
