These officers will represent their grade level and student body as a whole. We will be showing campaign videos that are pre-recorded by the candidates and students will vote; a link will be sent to each student’s email to vote.

Students, parking passes are available to be purchased in the front office. Students who have purchased parking passes are unable to find a parking space due to many students parking without a parking pass. Parking pass checks will be conducted every day until the end of the school year. Parking without a parking pass will result in possible ALP or Detention.
