The National Junior Honor Society will elect its seventh-grade officers Tuesday as part of its monthly meeting.
The elected officers will serve next year as eighth-graders, but they will spend the year getting to learn their positions by working with the eighth-grade officers.
Those running for NJHS seventh-grade officers are Delilah Ballard-Dorcely for president, Finley Davis and Charly Heath for vice president, Alivia Cook for secretary, Bailee Howard for treasurer, and Presley Sanders for parliamentarian. Additionally, Isaac Pain is running to fill the vacant eighth-grade reporter position.
On Tuesday, the NJHS officer candidates will present their speeches, and the NJHS members will votes on the officers of their choice. The election is only open to NJHS members.
Pain said he feels relaxed about his speech.
“Not really,” he said when weighing in on whether he was nervous about his speech.
He said he thinks he will be a good officer.
“I do believe that I will be good because I show up to almost all of the meetings and take good note, and I do what is required of me,” Pain said.
In previous years, officers have gone to the state convention the day before Spring Break. Members also do various activities throughout the community during the school year.
The ultimate goal for NJHS members is to be a leader in the community and for the rest of their lives.
