Candidate Name: Darnell Stokes
Grade: 12th

Extracurricular Activities: I Play Varsity Football and I am the Varsity Wrestling Captain. I'm Interested in studying psychology after Highschool and work my way to receiving my Psy.D. I've been told I'm an Excellent Opera Singer. I love acting, writing poetry, and performing such as MCing and giving speeches

What Makes Me A Leader?: I believe I am a great leader because I can speak well under pressure, get my point across, and interact well with others in both a formal and informal setting. I am Captain of the Wrestling Team which gives me a leg up on being a leader and having to listen to everyone's voice,thoughts, and opinions. I am also great at dealing with people that disagree with me and trying to find common ground. I do this everyday at work being the Department Manager.

Why do I want to be President?: I want to be President because I want to work side by side with my peers in order to make our school a better place. I want to show my peers I can be an approachable young man and listen to their #StuVoice. This a great opportunity not only for myself but for others who want a leader that can speak for them when they feel they can't be heard. I want to use my words in a positive way and I've tried to show this through my poetry that I've performed at Pepfests.
-Sincerely, Darnell Stokes
