Rachel DeRochi, candidate for Executive Student Council Second Vice President, has been taking leadership roles since elementary school, where she was on the student council in fifth grade; she has taken on a slew of others since, including spots on the varsity women’s lacrosse as a freshman and the Second Honour roll for second and third quarter of her sophomore year.

As Second Vice President, she hopes “to give the school way more dress down days, so that the students have more opportunities to express themselves…. and help bring attention to the cause of expanding the colours on our school uniform sweatshirts, so that people have more outfit choices.”  She plans to achieve this “by brainstorming more fundraisers that could be done to make a cause to hold more dress down days,” she says. 

I would like to thank my Dad for helping me write my speech and my friends for encouraging me to run for student council. 

Go Cougars!

 Jacob Eugene, candidate for Executive Student Council Second Vice President, is a talented public speaker and it shows through his many Speech and Debate solo awards and his contributions to Charlotte Catholic’s NCTC District win.

Eugene’s long-term goals as Second Vice President are “adding more [formal and informal] dances and a talent show.. and convincing more people to come to theatre productions and athletic events.” These goals are inspired by his little sister, he says. “I want to make the school fun for her and her class, when she comes to Charlotte Catholic.” He plans to also improve how the Student Council reaches out to the student body by “revamping our marketing to include more social media or funnier posters… but if that doesn’t work I can always do what I do best, keep asking until they listen, to me and the people.”

Thank you to my friends for helping me put up the posters, Mr. Sigwald for editing my speech, and Dollar Tree and Google Images for the posters and memes respectively.

 Brynn Heslin, candidate for Executive Student Council Second Vice President, committs intensely to any task she takes; it shows in her laundry list of achievements: Girl Scout Silver Award recipient, consistent First Honours student, Speech and Debate Nationals qualifier, and a Presidential Service Award recipient.

Heslin’s focus as Second Vice President will be “giving a voice to the study body at CCHS,” she says. Encouragement of clubs at Charlotte Catholic is the focus of her platform, and helping the annual Club Day fair run smoother “so that people can actually listen to each other and find the clubs that are right for them” is the crux of that plan. Furthermore, she promises to “focus on efficient and entertaining fundraisers so that our clubs, teams, and sports can have the funds to make our school proud.”

From my friend group and beyond, everyone has been so nice and supportive, and my running-mates have been respectful and kind. I really couldn’t have asked for a better running experience, win or lose.

To the student body: I love you guys! Every single student at CCHS deserves to have a great high school experience, and I wanna help make that happen to the best of my ability. I’m seriously invested in making our school better for all of us, and it would mean the world if you voted for me.
