Junior class president Gus Darty is hoping to accommodate students’ needs regardless of how they might change throughout the school year as well as providing a fun year for everyone. “While there are events that I am very excited to put together for you guys, but we’ll keep those a secret and I’ll focus on my goals to fix problems and voice the public opinion as it comes to me.” Darty said.

Darty believes that Hellgates spirit is strong and wants to maintain that in the fall. “While we are all different with our friends, hobbies, and strengths, we are also all knights. I wouldn’t change this for anything. The only thing that I would change would be to help our knights glow a little bit brighter.”  Darty said.

Student body president Faith You wants to work her hardest to fulfill the goals and expectations of the student body. “My goals next year are to increase student body membership, increase involvement of everyone in school-wide activities, and to have Hellgate connect with the community on a greater level. Our students are phenomenal, and I have no doubt that we can create a positive impact within our bubble and beyond. I think it’s going to boil down to how well our officers are willing to work together and how willing our student body is to participate and help.” You said.
