On May 6, 2020, every Jesuit student flocked to the election website, listening to each candidate and then making an educated vote. The next morning, those same students sat in front of their inbox, awaiting the recent election results. As soon as Mr. Dion released the morning announcements, many students rejoiced, cheered, and sent congratulations to the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore class offices.
The following is a recap of all the winners, complete with some inaugural remarks:
Senior Class Officers

“Hey, guys. I am Luis Osorio, the senior class president. I’m really looking forward to being part of Student Council my senior year.

Now, as a rising Senior, I am very aware that my responsibilities have only increased, yet I am very pumped to promote the Jesuit spirit and showcase my commitment to these responsibilities. I hope to leave a positive impact on the year to come!“
