As November rolls around, everyone across the nation will have all eyes on the voting polls. Let’s think ab

out the month of October when East High hold their annual class presidential election.

East High Scroll got the inside scoop on our 2016-2017 president and vice president.

Prior to elections, vice principal Ms. Ahrens decided that there will only be one president and one vice president for all student run groups. The two students who would be elected for class president and vice president, would also be elected to run student government and senior board. Ahrens believed that with too many “presidents” would cause conflict around graduation time with everyone wanting to be apart of graduation.

“We want one person over seeing the whole school, someone who is most effective.” Ahrens said.

The voting polls for class election also changed for the 2016-2017 elections. Before at East, elections were strictly for just seniors, while this year every grade can vote for who they want to represent our school. This was changed by administration to make the elections less of a popularity contest and more of an effective change in our school.

These are just little changes to our to school compared to what Brandy Cam and Parker Bartz are about to bring to us. They have BIG dreams, for a BIG future.

What are you involved in at East?

Cam has been involved with cheerleading, theatre, fashion show, Educational Talent Search, National Honor Society, as well as different volunteering projects.

If you could change one thing about East, what would it be?

“If I could change one thing about East it would be our own perception of ourselves…” Cam believes she can help students talk more positively about our school, and show the world what it’s really like to be an East High Scarlet.

What are your goals for East?

“To get more students involved and have more kids be able to voice their opinions and help groups that might not get the support they need…”

What is your plan of action?

Cam plans to have a huge charity event at East. She aims to “have East shown in a better light.” She expects reporters to be there to cover the story as well as dogs to 23 4draw in supporters for the East High community as well as the ARL.

What will be your biggest challenge as class president?

“My biggest challenge as class president will be getting everybody at East to agree and come together as a whole.”

What is your definition of a class president?

“Someone who can be a voice for all students and be a great leader at all times. As your class president I want you to feel comfortable with me and talk to me about any problems you have.” Cam also added that if there are any concerns or ideas, come to her to discuss so she can have more feedback to work with.

What do you think made you stand out to win presidency?

Cam believes that since she ran for the students rather than popularity, that put her above and beyond all the other candidates. “I have always tried to get to know everyone and be nice to everyone… it’s really paid of.” Some other wise words from Cam are “stay humble… the only thing holding you back is yourself.”
