After the long vote extension process due to the snow days, Angelo Biel took the office of class president, Tanner Esch will assist him as vice president, Alissa Pacheco as the secretary and Abbie Merida as the treasurer. 

Angelo Biel stated that his intentions as class president are mainly composed of being a strong leader and working to find solutions for the problems that our school is facing. One of Biel's main goals is to get the students involved with more academic and extracurricular activities suited to their needs. Biel also hopes to achieve the feat of encouraging the class of 2024 to achieve the highest graduation rate possible.

When Biel learned of his new position, he stated, "During the announcements, I did not know that I would win at first. In all sincerity, I thought that Alissa Pacheco, the current Secretary, Abbie Merida, the Treasurer, or even Tanner Esch, whom I am privileged to work with as my Vice President, would win. Once I heard my name, I was shocked. After realizing this and letting everything sink in, I proceeded to feel honored."

Tanner Esch will assist Biel as the junior class vice president. Esch's intentions with his newly acquired position are to help out in as many aspects as possible simply. When informed of his new job, Esch stated, "I was so surprised. I would have never thought I'd be in this position."
