Running for President: Catherine Willis

I dont want to make empty promises so let me tell you what I will try to do for our class and what I will do for our class. I will unite our class for the homecoming float, we have a lot of creative people who I know will enjoy and work well together to make our homecoming float the best our class has made yet. Im not scared to reach out to people, and never have been. What I will try to do is convince our school board to bring back wildcat pride time. I know a lot of students benefitted from those fourty free minutes of class to either do homework before practice to making up missed work for teachers. Being busy students and athletes I feel its necessary to have that extra time. Especially considering our Junior year is when we really have to start considerng the future, so please vote for me! #cat4prez :)

I will create a more inclusive student council and will diligently work to meet all of your needs or concerns. Thank you for considering me as your Junior Class Secretary.

Another reason being I am responsible, and will get any work done in the appropriate time allotted.

CANDIDATES FOR SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS

Running for President- Mosha Patel

Becoming Class President of Class of 2015 as always been a goal of mine. Getting to know the class as the whole, and understanding their needs was always on my mind as Junior Class President. I’ve gotten to comprehend their wants on a personal level as well as guidance they have given me to make senior year the greatest year for the best class. The major responsibilities include homecoming, Prom, and of course the many class reunions to come. Who else better then someone who has been through these experiences on making these events happen and know the behind the scenes of it all. I’ve gain many leadership qualities from all the extracurricular activities I partake in. This is no job for a slacker, especially when their class expects nothing but the finest. I also hope to include many senior gatherings for us to get closer and make this year worth it all! #PrezMosha2k15 #BringSeniorYearOn

Running for President- Ryan Skibiki

I believe this school can and will be better than it needs to be through the use of our own students and our power as a community of people to be a mature group of young men and women. We are the future of America, though we are also the past of Richmond Hill High School. We can change this school for the future.

Running for Vice-President- Shirley Senefield

As summer starts and you all head to the beach, my first year as VP will end. This past year has been an incredible success, full of experiences that brought us closer and helped me prepare to be a better Senior VP. All of you know Im very artsy and hardworking.. don't you want someone with these qualities in charge of your senior year? Its the most important year, and you need a VP with creative ideas and a work ethic to make homecoming, prom, grad bash, and graduation crazy exciting! A lazy VP will lead to a unmemorable senior year, so if you're ready to get pumped and make senior year rock, make the smart choice and reelect Shirley for VP.

I am already starting to plan out things for next year like a senior trip, a class cookout, and even a "senior bash" (which includes a water balloon fight) to celebrate our last days at Richmond Hill High school. This upcoming year, it is extremely important to me to create more of a family out of our class and I believe events like this will help create it. Most importantly, I will be open to each and everyone of your ideas and work along with the other officers to make it happen. I am beyond excited and ready to work hard each day for a senior year that lives up to its name! "Don't be a chicken, vote Henman!"
