Many people may wonder what happens in leadership class. What are the roles and duties of each person in leadership?
As student representatives, ASB officers make decisions about upcoming events and oversee everyone else in the leadership class.
ASB president Seth Neumann runs business meetings. During these meetings, ASB commissioners update each other on issues and accomplishments throughout the week. Leadership members also discuss ideas for new events.
“It can be stressful being ASB president sometimes, but I do it because it’s also fun,” Neumann said.
Class officers organize and plan events, such as fundraisers, Spirit Week and dances. They participate in all the rallies that take place during Spirit Week.
“Even though we have to wake up early to help out with rallying, we always contribute our time and effort to our class,” freshman vice president Aileen Liang said.
Although freshman class officers are not enrolled in leadership class, Liang and the others participate in the big events that leadership runs.
“It may be different from being vice president at Centerville, but I have learned so many new things from the upperclassmen,” Liang said. “It’s always fun to meet new people and experience new things.”
Students are admitted in leadership by filling out an application and interviewing for a certain commission such as rallies, fundraising, tech, elections, IOC, PR or community outreach and community service.
Junior Erin Enguero is the head of elections. She works with juniors Sophia Harrison and Tessa Thym. They run the process of electing homecoming court, senior favorites and new school officers. Enguero has already worked in the election commission for two years and plans to continue through her senior year.
“I feel that working in the election commission has allowed me to really appreciate the people who do the behind the scenes work,” Enguero said.
Being a part of leadership unleases students’ potential to become a true leader.
“I’ve learned that leadership is about making everyone feel like they belong, especially in a school where the spirit of the Huskies reigns,” Enguero said.
