Student Elections

Congratulations to all our candidates for a very impressive election run, and to our newly elected Student Executive for the 2019-2020 year! I was truly impressed by how much the candidates supported each other through an election process that is a rigorous one. Requirements include a formal application, election posters, campaign videos, an interview with an administrator, a Q&A at the Forum Assembly, and a Meet-and-Greet.

The new Student Executive officially took over their roles on at the Blazer Exchange assembly in May, but served out the rest of the year alongside our outgoing student executive.

The 2019-20 Student Executive are:

  • Head Girl – Olivia
  • Vice-Head Girl – Annie
  • Community Service Captain #1 – Dana
  • Community Service Captain #2 – Chloe G.
  • Blue Whales Captain – Chloe B.
  • Red Hippos Captain – Aiyana
  • Green Elephants Captain – Emily
  • Yellow Lions Captain – Victoria
  • Class Presidents – Audrey, Carmel, Margarita, Tiana

YHS Talks

We held our second YHS Talks of the year on Friday, March 1. Five students spoke on topics important to them. Each spoke eloquently about her own experience or journey and the entire student body sat riveted by the sincerity and thoughtfulness of each individual’s story. Many of us laughed, cried, and then celebrated the incredible courage these young women showed to get on stage and share so much about themselves. Thank you to all of you; you are incredible role models in our community. There was a great deal to learn from each and every one of you!
