Fifteen year old Eric Fletcher was elected president of the tenth grade on September 24th, 2015. His primary responsibility as president is to make decisions on behalf of the tenth grade. Eric played a crucial role in preparing the sophomore student section for homecoming. He said that the only real trouble is students blaming him for decisions that he has very little input in. For example, some students blame him for the vending machines having undesirable food. All in all, being the president comes with its own set of challenges.
He is in the highest possible position that a sophomore can obtain. He, along with the other members of the sophomore council, meet in a chosen room at least once a month. Eric told me that he always tries to get the input of his fellow students before making a decision. He said that his favorite part of being the sophomore president is that he is able to represent his grade level.
Eric was the perfect candidate for president, as he shows wisdom despite his young age. He makes sure to take in the input of others. Ultimately, Eric actually cares about what he is doing in his position, and according to some may be the most dedicated of all class presidents.
