It’s that time of year again, DEN elections! Here is the current lineup of candidates and a little information about each of them.

President Candidates:

Abby Gray: “I am heavily involved at North, I am a member of five clubs, played varsity volleyball last year, NHS junior vice president, [involved in Project Linus] and will be president next year. I also was an ambassador in SPUD and have been in DEN for two years and am currently serving as Publicity Chair! The main thing I want to focus on is making the freshman experience as valuable and enjoyable as possible. For a lot of freshmen, this is a determining factor for their future academic life and investment in North and outside life.”

Noah Brown: “I’m currently the junior class president on the prom planning committee, a 3-year veteran speech and debate member, in SPUD and I’m in my second year in DEN. I’m running because I’m passionate about my school and the people in it, and I want our school to be headed in the best direction possible, and I believe I can take it there. Not by myself but through reflecting and carrying out the ideas and wishes of my peers.”

Jamaal Jackson is involved in DEN and SPUD.

Vice President Candidate:

Dylan Wall: “I’ve been in DEN for two years and I know that my current job as Chair of the Publicity Committee has taught me the organizational skills needed for being the Vice President. I decided I wanted to run because I value the reputation of this school, and I want to lead this community in growing stronger.”

Treasurer Candidates:

Bentley Wright: “I have served as a senator for two years working with the publicity committee and the treasurer. I shadowed the treasurer this past year and was highly involved during SPUD Week by working in the counting room. I’m running because I believe I am ready for more responsibility and think this role is right for me. I enjoy being involved with SPUD and am a very organized person who is ready to take on this position!”

Avery Hopper: “Being part of DEN these past two years has been my favorite part of high school. This year I have had the chance to shadow our current treasurer, Amanda Mercer, and she taught me what it takes to be a good treasurer. Handling money is very vital for the success of DEN and SPUD, which is why the treasurer needs to be responsible, hard-working, and organized, and I know I am qualified.”

PR Candidates:

Kaleb Favaloro: “I feel qualified for PR Exec because I have been in DEN for two years and have had experience in a leadership position as a video chair. I am running because I want more people to go to school events. It’s made my high school experience so much more enjoyable and I just want to allow that for as many kids at North as possible.”

Tuqa Alibadi: “Hey I’m Tuqa Alibadi! I’ve been in DEN for three years and am secretary this year. I’ve loved what we have accomplished in DEN but going into this new position, I see a perfect chance for new changes in DEN. The PR executive’s role is to communicate with the school, and I see no better opportunity to embrace diversity, representation, and create a new image for NNHS and DEN.”

Voting is on Tuesday, March 8th, during advisory. Seniors are not eligible to vote.
