Results are in from last Monday’s and Tuesday’s election for Student Council officers for the 2025-2026 school year. After careful consideration from their peers, the winning candidates gained the titles of OPRF’s new representatives. Trapeze surveyed the candidates to find out what they plan to do once in office.
Rhiannon Singer, incoming senior and an active member of the Student Council since her freshman year, was elected Student Council president. With a desire to foster a community where every Huskie feels “seen, heard and empowered to be their authentic self,” she hopes to increase student involvement in Student Council. Singer knows exactly what issues she wants to target in the upcoming school year: increasing sports funding, extending library hours and improving opportunities for student parking.
Incoming senior Michayla Marks, the new vice president, has a goal of bringing the “OPRF community together,” she says. An active Student Council member since her sophomore year, she hopes to make connections with clubs. She is “excited to learn different perspectives from each grade level at club meetings and be a person that students can talk to about things in the school that they think Student Council would be able to assist with!”
Stella Smith, an incoming senior, was elected as public relations representative. Actively involved in Student Council since her freshman year, she has “always been interested in a future career in Public Relations.” Smith plans to utilize the Student Council’s Instagram account to “keep the school community informed and excited” by crafting creative posts regarding upcoming events. Smith says she’s excited to promote events like Homecoming and pep rallies that “help build enthusiasm and pride throughout the school year.”
Paris Spencer, incoming senior, was driven to run for service project coordinator due to how much she cares “about giving back” to the OPRF community. The role of Service Project Coordinator lets Spencer organize meaningful events that “make a difference.” Spencer plans on keeping students engaged by constructing “creative, interactive, and enjoyable” service projects.
Incoming senior Sabrina Tristano, who was elected board representative, was drawn to the position due to “how the leadership role extended beyond the club.” A specific wish of Tristano’s is to create a Networking Night, where OPRF club leaders and members can collaborate. “It would not only help build a stronger sense of community, but also allow me to better represent what clubs want from the board,” she wrote in her survey response.
Ivy Childress, an incoming senior and secretary, has key goals to “increase our meeting attendance and enhance transparency between OPRF students and our club.” Childress additionally hopes to “organize more student involved activities,” similar to OPRF’s annual inclusion assembly. Childress shared how one of her “favorite times of the year is homecoming season,” so she feels “excited to decorate and collaborate with everyone to ensure we have a fantastic homecoming.”
