In their annual election, the student body of the Clinton School has selected a new group to lead the Student Government Association (SGA).
The newly elected Executive Committee consists of President Anna Applebaum; Governance Committee Chair Matt Devlin; Community Liaison Sylvia Tran; Communications Coordinator Brad Cameron; Class 8 Representative Chet Howland; and Class 9 Representative Quiana Brown.
“We all are fortunate to be part of this school, and as it is so young, we play a role in shaping where it will go,” said President-elect Anna Applebaum. “I’m really excited to have the chance to work with my fellow students to shape what our Clinton School experience will be for us and students to come.”
Some of the SGA responsibilities include providing a formal process through which student interests may be promoted and concerns may be addressed, cultivating relationships among the student body, faculty, and administration, and maintaining communication with former Clinton School students.
“I have all the confidence in the world in Anna and the rest of the newly-elected committee,” said out-going SGA President Mara D’Amico. “I’m really excited to see their new ideas and what they’re able to accomplish together.”
