Recently, the CCS Student Government held elections for SG President and Vice President for the 2015-2016 school year. The signage was creative, and all 5 of the speeches were amazing! There were three candidates for Vice President and two candidates for President.

All the speeches were informative, inspiring, and inventive.  One even included the unexpected moment of turning out the lights.  After all the speeches were made, the ballots were cast.

Bryson Rose won the race for SG Vice President and Cameron Warner won the race for Student Body President.  Congratulations, gentlemen!

At the end of the day, outgoing president Evan Prince made the election official with a “passing of the sword” ceremony.
