As the school’s halls buzz with the energy of the academic year winding to a close — the atmosphere now filled with final projects, farewells and moments of reflection — newly-elected Student Body President Adam Dalrymple is focused on achieving one goal: making the next year unforgettable.
During his time as Student Body Secretary, Dalrymple took the opportunity to learn from his fellow Executive Student Council (STUCO) members, namely Matthew Hoffman and Andrew Jin.
“Being Student Body Secretary has definitely helped me prepare for this role, as I got to see how Matthew and Andrew Jin approached their positions,” Dalrymple said. “I saw how they took on various challenges and got to see the executive side of the student council — that’s really helped prepare me for the upcoming year.”
This isn’t Dalrymple’s first time in a presidential role. During his freshman year, he served as the Class of 2026’s STUCO president, honing his planning and collaboration skills.
In anticipation for the next school year, Dalrymple has established three goals. The first one is centered around opening up more leadership opportunities for students on campus.
“I want everyone to be involved, especially from the senior class as our time is coming to an end,” Dalrymple said. “Everyone should have the opportunity to fill an official leadership or committee role.”
Dalyrmple’s second goal is to continue the Homecoming success from previous years and even improve upon it. He hopes that under his leadership, Homecoming attendance will be higher than ever before.
His third goal is all about endurance — keeping school spirit alive long after the initial excitement of the fall fades away. Drawing on lessons from football, he sees senior year not as a sprint, but as a steady, intentional effort to keep energy high across all grades.
“Coach Flaherty always said it’s a four-quarter fight, and I carried that with me throughout the school year,” Dalrymple said. “One of my goals is to keep the hype going and keep the school spirit up throughout the entirety of the school year.”
Whether through assemblies, spirit parties or new events, Dalrymple hopes to keep the momentum strong from August to May.
In particular, he looks forward to hosting more events like movie nights on the quad — casual, fun moments where students can unwind, laugh and build memories that could last beyond high school.
But above all, Dalrymple wants to ensure that his last year at school will be one for the ages.
“I want this next year to be great, especially for the seniors,” Dalrymple said. “I want to be able to look back on it, reflect and think ‘we could not have had a better senior year.’”
Dalrymple’s focus isn’t just on planning events — it’s about shaping a meaningful final year for his class. As he looks ahead, his priority is creating moments that bring people together and leave a lasting impact. His mindset is realistic but hopeful, grounded in effort and driven by a shared sense of purpose.
“Nothing can be done perfectly, but we can do it very well,” Dalrymple said. “I know we can make this next year a great year.”
