Midway Staff

The Midway collected responses from candidates running for all-school Student Council positions or for class president. Candidates were asked about their goals, experience and ability to serve as a voice for students. Responses were edited slightly for length and clarity. There are 39 students running for the 2024-25 Student Council, and 18 all-school or class president candidates are featured here. Current Student Council members were not involved in the editing process. All images designed by Midway Staff.
