As the school year wraps up, the election season is just beginning. In order to be ready for school year next year, elections are held in May in order for students to be prepared for their upcoming term.

For cabinet elections, the CK populace elected Ben Huang as president, with Justin Anderson serving as his vice president. Caitlyn McConnell was elected to the Treasurer position, and the secretary position was hotly contested between Kendall Massey and Rochelle Dimilanta, with the ladies at an equal amount of votes at the first tally. A second round election was held on Tuesday the 19th and Wednesday the 20th of April, with Kendall Massey winning the vote.

Huang said his goals to accomplish next year were to “create an environment that the students feel safe and secure in, as well as making sure our educational goals are accomplished for all students.”

As for senior class elections, Cody Davis received the most votes and said on Facebook his first goal is to “help change the dress code for the female students [and] make sure enforcement is equal between all students.” The vice presidential election also was a close race, with a runoff election for Leanna Naji and Kellen Leavell held on the 26th and 27th of April. The Treasurer position was awarded to Tierra Trail, allowing for some excellent alliteration in her title, and Rochelle Dimalanta came out victorious for the secretary position.

The junior class elections had a close election for president, with Susannah Terry and Lina Fowler both having a second round election on the 26th and 27th of April as well. Ally Payne won the position of vice president, along with  the perky McKenzie Perkes winning the Treasurer position and Khalea Ryan in the secretary seat.

And in the final elections, the sophomores chose Ryan Nguyen to be their president and Alyssa Erickson to be the vice president. Bella Capuano and Gabby Everman came out ahead for treasurer and secretary respectfully. And Kathryn Watson and Madison Scruggs will be the sophomore class representatives.
Overall, another year of CK elections has come and gone, this year with a high voter turnout and very close elections for all categories. The new government is in, and hopes are at an all time high for a new and improved environment at CK!
