What sort of ideas, projects or initiatives do you have for next year? What is your main goal?

“So, one big thing that I want to get done next year is creating a way to make AP curriculum more accessible for students who don’t really know where to get that information or who to talk to. Kind of in that same ballpark is making university courses more accessible to people who want to do that since it involves cold-calling professors and going through this complicated system. I want to continue to promote events that we are already doing. The big dances of course, and then events such as Labstock, spirit days, spirit assemblies. I really want the school to have more spirit. I think that’s definitely gotten a lot better this year with the implementation of International Day, for example. Then I just want to have more of an outlet for students to get together and have fun as a whole group.”

What experiences and skills make you qualified for this position?

“I’ve been on StudCo for two years now, so I definitely have gotten to see the inner workings of bill processes, how to plan events, what really goes on internally in Student Council. I feel that I know this grade pretty well, not only my grade but grades above, grades under. I really do have a passion for Student Council and love being on Student Council and everything we do. It’s something that I really love to do and something that hopefully I can do in the future.”

How do you plan on being the middleman at the intersection of high school students, faculty and administration?

“In Student Council we have a few bills underway that work on communication between faculty administration and students. One, that my running mate Joshua Carter is working on actually, is a bill that makes faculty meetings accessible to students and we’re going to have a column in the Midway hopefully that kind of displays that information. Of course, holding town halls when needed and just kind of being an open space for students to talk about their findings with the school — what they like, what they dislike. Just kind of being there and going through this bill work, bill process and that planning that makes a school a more relaxing place for people. Somewhere that they can communicate their needs to and that we can provide for.”
