A main priority for Eliza McGlashan, the Senior Class President elect, is to make it easier for students to take the path they want. “For students who want to go to college, we’ll lessen the stress on that,” said McGlashan. “For students who don’t want to go to college, more resume building and job finding workshops. If a student likes sports, highlight the games. If they like the arts, highlight student artwork or show art competitions.” Through her leadership experience in Youth and Government she has strengthened her public speaking and communication skills, which she plans on utilizing as senior class president to accomplish her goals.

Freeman, when speaking about why she ran for ASB Vice President, said “When I was Junior Class Vice President we wanted to accomplish more mental health and Title IX support. That is more of an ASB job, because you have to work more with the administration. So my running mate, Drew, and I decided to run for ASB President and Vice President to make sure those changes happened.”
