Voting For Germantown Student Senate

By Nicolle Schorchit

Student Senate elections are here! The 12th and 13th of April are the days to vote for the Student Senators at Germantown.

Here are the candidates’ self-written biographies. Some students did not submit a biography, but their names shall be shown anyways. Those students who ran for executive offices but did not win were allowed to run for a senate seat. So because of this, we will see some familiar names on the list. (These biographies have not been edited in any way. These are truly the candidates’ own words.)
