Q: What do you hope to accomplish as senior class president?
Bohatec: “My focuses will be centered around promoting school spirit…promoting excellence in academics…and making this a good overall school year…[also] making it great like Garrett [did].”
Q: Do you have any previous experience in leadership positions?
Bohatec: “Not at all. At my youth group, yeah. I was [also] a freshman class representative.”
Q: What made you decide to run for class president?
Bohatec: “A lot of people said I should and there were some things that some students want to change. I feel like I can accomplish that for them.”
Q: “Are you involved in any other school or community organizations?
Bohatec: “My youth group, FCA, and the football team.”
Q: How do you plan on making your senior year special?
Bohatec: “First I’m gonna accomplish what the students want and over the summer I’m going to work with the other [members of] SGA to accomplish what they want to accomplish.”
Q: What do you think needs to be improved in the school?
Bohatec: The [hallway system], school lunches, and pep rallies need to be more exciting. And those are just a few of the many things that need to be improved.”
Q: How do you think we should improve the relationship between administrators and students?
Bohatec: “There probably needs to be more communication and understanding. We talk to them about how we feel and then they tell us how they feel..[this] will bring us closer to a mutual understanding. It’s all about communication.”
Q: How do you plan on raising student spirit?
Bohatec: “Promoting more activities where students can express their school spirit, like hat day, or people can wear PG gear. [Also] making it a more fun atmosphere and not always so serious. It would be cool if we could do school-wide activities….I’ll have to talk to the administration about that.”
Q: What changes do you plan on implementing?
Bohatec: “I haven’t really talked to the administration about anything yet, so I don’t know what we can do. One thing is a tutoring system, because some teachers can only stay after certain days and some students can’t come so their grades suffer. I was thinking about student led tutoring where they can help each other out.”
