On Jan. 8, 2015, Student Government Day elections were held at Malden High School. The Student Government Day program was first introduced in 1947 and is run by the Massachusetts State Government. The election is held to determine who will sit in with our state government and meet with government officials to represent Malden High School on Student Government Day. One representative and an alternative, the runner-up, are elected.

The elections were held in homeroom as the candidates read their statements on the morning announcements. Four students ran against each other to represent Malden High School including: seniors Terrica Dang, Efran Himal, juniors Tori Macdonald, and Gaudenz Brookes.

The representative for Malden High School voted for was Dang. The runner-up, who will serve as an alternate for Dang, is Macdonald. In the spring, Dang will represent MHS at the State House where she will participate in a simulation to debate a proposed bill that will potentially be passed. Dang “believe[s] that winning this election will help [her] learn more about our government and help [her] with AP Governemnt.” Dang added that “[she] think[s] spending the day meeting real government officials and other students just as passionate about the government as [she is] will give [her] a lot of insight [into the way the government works] from all different perspectives.”

Lead history teacher Gregory Hurley is in charge of the election and thanked the students for voting. He stated that “every time you vote you make your community stronger, so keep voting!”

Dang also thanked those who participated in the election everyone for taking part in the election. She explained that “voting is such an important part of our society and doing it in something as small as this election, makes a difference.” Dang added, “It’s good practice for our upcoming mock primary election in February.”
