The first student body president was Randy Thomas, the current technology coordinator at the high school.

Diamond Bar High School's student body government is called the United Student Body (USB). This differs from other schools with Associated Student Body (ASB) programs. At DBHS, there are six executive board members who are elected by the student body in December: President, Vice-President, Speaker of the House, Inter-Organizational Chairperson, Secretary, and Financial Director. They, along with their appointed commissioners, begin their terms in January and serve for a regular year (instead of a school year). The official transition from the old officers to the new officers takes place at the Extollation/Installation Banquet.

The Inter-Organizational Council (IOC) is composed of IOC representatives from every club and class on campus. IOC Representatives are required to attend the monthly meetings and participate in the yearly "Club Signing Party."
- USB Senate
-
The USB Senate is composed of the USB Commissioners appointed by the Executive Board at the beginning of each calendar year. The Senate assists the Executive Board during Senate meetings. The Senate also policies DBHS's student activities. More information is available in the student constitution DBHS Constitution and the DBHS By-Laws

The site mainly serves to provide information about the school to the public and does not contain as much news as the USB website.
- Diamond Bar High USB Website (dbhsusb.org)
-
DBHSusb.org was created as a student/parent informational site by providing school news and a school calendar. The site was also designed to help students share a part of their DBHS life by submitting appropriate pictures. The site also contains club websites and a club directory. Each club is responsible for updating and maintaining their own site. The website was started in early February 2006 and was created by USB Commissioners of Technology Jason Lee and Geoffrey Cheung. The website has undergone several design changes and two content management system (CMS) changes. The site is currently powered by the Joomla! CMS system and several other custom modifications. In October 2006, USB made an effort to conserve more paper and decided to make more general school forms available online at the download section.
