Students spilled into the Eagle’s Nest during both lunches, crowding around the candidate list to vote for class officers last Friday. After a long week of campaigning, the student council tallied the votes.
After the results were posted outside D107, Poom Wattanapan anxiously walked towards the crowded wall. After pushing away some saddened students, Wattanapan read his name under the word ‘President,’ in big bold blue letters.
“I’m really happy that I won,” Wattanapan said. “I really appreciate for everyone voting and I am ecstatic for next year.”
The class officers said they want to do more than just “throw the greatest prom that has ever happened.” The new senior class also wants to provide more community service opportunities.
“I plan on getting into Austin Street Shelter and getting us opportunities there,” Wattanapan said. “And possibly do some fundraisers for some non-profits, or at least open the door for more partnerships with other non-profits next year.”
Next year’s class officers are listed below.
