Lacy Duckwitz (11) has created her Instagram account @lacyduck4asbprez in which she shares funny photos to connect with students and has been handing out rubber ducks with her account underneath as a way to playfully pun on her last name. “I am always willing to listen and do the jobs that others consider 'boring' because I find accomplishment in knowing that I’m doing something important. I hope to bring back the lack of spirit and be a voice for the students and become a representative for those who feel unheard. This is something I have always wanted to do because while I always enjoyed doing stuff behind the scenes, I feel like this is my chance to put myself out there while also getting to do what I love, which is serving the students,” said Duckwitz.

Hailey Palmer smiles excitedly as she awaits for the results of the ASB elections. Palmer is prepared to hopefully take over the role as ASB President and encourage school spirit and improve ASB to better benefit the students. (Victoria Hernandez)

Hailey Palmer

Hailey Palmer (11) is very experienced and has been involved in ASB for the last three years in high school and two years in middle school. She is running alongside Emma Owens who is competing for ASB Vice President and has created an Instagram account @vote.hailey.emma, and has created T-Shirts for teachers to wear around school, hung posters, and created her video inspired by Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. “I love being a part of ASB and what we have been able to do for all the students. Learning from all past presidents, I have been able to form my own way of leadership and picture what ASB can have the potential to be, and want to change ASB from within to create more of a community to help the school overall. I want to expand the people who lead our student section and get people from outside of ASB to make a better experience for everyone,” said Palmer.

Jack Roche is eager to hear the results of the ASB elections. Roche is very dedicated, responsible, and spirited, and hopes that if elected, he is able to promote inclusivity and encourage student participation in school related events so students feel that there is a crowd always there to cheer them on.

Jack Roche

Jack Roche (11) is currently Junior Class President and has been involved in ASB since fourth grade. He has worked on his Instagram account, @jackrocheasbprez, to generate engagement and has passed out sunglasses and posters around campus. He is involved in additional extracurricular activities such as Cross Country, Track and Field, Theater, and No Place for Hate. “Ever since I came to San Juan Hills, I love the vast amount of quality programs and I hope that if I am elected, I will be able to increase the participation in these programs. I feel as if the spirit is low, especially at Basketball games, but there are a lot of promising ways to get people excited through an increase in events during break and lunch,” said Roche.

Gavin Geiss hopes to be elected ASB President and hear his fellow peers and interact with them through conversations to gain feedback that will be carried out to advance the school. Geiss hopes to make school enjoyable and bring everyone together through pep rallies and games so all students are engaged and unified. (Victoria Hernandez)

Gavin Geiss

Gavin Geiss (11) is very involved in his community by volunteering in food drives and many events held at San Clemente, the current president of Young Life, a part of Student Council, has led multiple bible studies, and is on the San Juan Hills Football team. He has also created an Instagram to promote himself which is @ggeiss_for_president. “I feel that I am definitely a people's president and would not change myself if elected. I believe getting feedback is super important in being an ASB president so you are aware of everyone's different wants and needs to create a thriving school community. I want to make school a place for students to look forward to and be inspired from, and essentially make a massive impact on the school and unite students,” said Geiss.
