With the 2021-2022 school year coming to a close, the annual elections for the Student Organization and Class Officers have taken place once again. Following a return to normal schooling after the COVID pandemic, the results of the fierce election campaign among the candidates were highly anticipated. The elections took place on Monday, April 25th, and the results came out on the following day. With a fresh cabinet of members ready to serve the school, we will definitely be ready for the upcoming year. 

The differences between the jobs of an elected officer in the Student Organization versus a Class Officer are commonly confused. The Student Organization focuses more on the fundamentals of the school and student life as a whole. By regulating clubs and listening to the suggestions of their peers, the Student Organization forms the backbone of student government within the school. On the other hand, Class Officers are focused on organizing specific events and promoting togetherness within their grade. This responsibility includes raising funds so that each respective grade is able to enjoy experiences both inside and outside school hours. Class Officers also plan the Tenafly High School’s annual Olympics, as well as senior Tux and Prom. Both Student Organization officers and Class Officers play an important role in representing the student body.

Here are the 2022-2023 officers, starting with the Student Organization Elections, which had over 20 candidates running for its five different positions:
