Student Council is hosting a mandatory meeting for anyone interested in running for a class officer position Wednesday, Feb. 10 from 2:30 to 3:30 in room 503.

Students do not have to be previously enrolled in a student council class to be considered; Student Council encourages all students to participate in the election.

“The best part of being a class officer is being able to input executive ideas that directly affect the student body,” student body officer Sarah Baron, senior, said.

Hopeful candidates will create campaigns to gain support. They will create flyers, posters, and banners, and should they choose to, they can make buttons or bookmarks to hand out to classmates and potential voters.

Voting will be open to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors starting Monday, Feb. 22 and ending Friday, Feb. 26. Students can vote for their chosen candidates using tallyspace.com/vote/chsvote.

“Being a class officer has taught me that you can handle a lot more than you think. With four A.P. classes, student council, and being an officer amidst being a human and spending time with family and friends, it gets difficult sometimes balancing all of the tasks I have to get done. However, with the help of my friends on the senior class committee, my teachers, and my family, I have been able to manage my workload, while learning along the way,” Olivia Hankins, senior class treasurer, said.
