Another year means another group of eager leaders to rally the student body into the fresh school year. Leading this charge are the student-elected Co-Presidents who take on the responsibility of serving as a liaison between the student body and the school’s senior administration. As heads of the student body, they run all-school meetings, which occur twice per week, initiate new programs and activities, and unify the entire pack—347 Huskies strong. We asked this year’s presidents a few questions to learn a bit more about them and why their peers entrusted them with this great responsibility.
