There’s a pile of summer homework to turn in; an array of friends to catch up with; and a list of extracurriculars ready to be tackled.

The competition for the class officer position was heated, as many students fought for a spot to represent their class. In the Tenth Grade alone, four students ran for the presidential seat. However the time was limited for campaigning and the Tenth grade Lead Advisor, Mrs. O’Neil, said, she wished there was more time between nomination and voting so students running for positions could get out there and campaign.

This year’s elections are over, but there’s always next year. If you are considering contending for a place on your class executive committee, Nupur Mathur, Eleventh grade Presidents stated, ” the best method for campaigning is social media.”
