When it comes to a homecoming dance, the student council decided that that was something they definitely wanted to do, especially considering there hasn’t been one in several years due to COVID. 

“We are super excited about homecoming, and just currently getting everything ready for the week so that the students have the most fun. We are hoping to have a dance, so that will be fun.” Student council advisor Erica Plutat said.

The next thing the student council decided on was officer positions. The President of the student council is Gracie Kitchell, the Vice President is Kendall Sweet, the secretary is Tristan Kitchell, and, the treasurer is Jacob Patty. These votes were held and operated by the administrators of the student council Mrs. Plutat and Mrs. Myers.

“Honestly, I did it because there was a lot of plans from the council this year and I wanted to make my senior year more fun for me and my friends,” Student Council Vice President Kendall Sweet said,” It has also been something that I have wanted to do science my freshman year because it has always kind of been my main club.”
