2016-2017 Student Council

Every year, John I. Burton's students elect representatives for each individual grade.  This year, the Student Council is being organized somewhat differently than it has been in previous years.  The presidents of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes, will also act as the president, vice president, and secretary of the entire student body.  Thus, Isaac S., the senior class president, is also the president for the entire student body, and Eric F., the junior class president, is also vice president for the student body.  Megan D., the sophomore class president, will also be acting as secretary and treasurer for the student body.

The entire list of victors following this year's Student Council elections are:

Senior class officers
President- Isaac S.
Vice President- Ron Y.

Junior class officers
President- Eric F.
Vice President- Mazzy T.
Secretary and Treasurer- Kira S.

Sophomore class officers

Vice President- Derrick A.
Secretary and Treasurer- Jackson B.

Freshman class officers
President- Lydia B. J.
Vice President- Naomi T.

Eighth grade officers

Vice President- Isaiah K.

Burton's Student Council also has a new sponsor, Ms. Kendrea Scott. The new approach to organizing the council of representatives was engendered by Kendrea Scott.  She was previously the sponsor of the Key Club, but was shifted to supervisor of student representation.  She stated, "I'm really excited about it. I think it will be different and fun."

Isaac S., the student body president, is already trying to make positive changes for the school.  For example,  he has already worked with the staff in order to put a second, more efficient microwave in the Raiders' cafeteria.  He also hopes to collaborate with the school in order to provide seniors with designated parking.

All in all, each of the Student Council members say that it is an honor to be a voice in John I. Burton's school system.  We congratulate you on your positions of leadership.
