StuCo Freshman Elections 

This year the Freshman Class is having a freshman team instead of class officers and representatives.

This freshman team includes Addi Blum, Jackson Brown, Peyton Dean, Archisa Ghimire, Josh Gillen, Analexis Lester-Urbanik, Karen Morales, Tori Pickering, Madi Ross, Naomi Solomon and Selena Umana. These students applied to be representatives and one applied to be an officer.

The sponsors are very excited to be working with these students.

Debate 

The debate season has started, and the team had a practice tournament Sept. 16.

The competition was just a practice for novice, so no decisions were rendered. The advanced debaters volunteered to help out the novice team and run the tournament.

Carter Jones, senior, said that he thought it would “be a good learning espierence. “

The topic this year is the funding and/or regulation of elementary and/ or secondary education in the U.S.
