Briana Castellanos Zuniga

Hello class of 2024! My name is Briana Castellanos Zuniga and I am running for senior class officer. If elected this would be my first year in leadership. I am heavily involved with the school and have grown a passion to help the people around me. I am currently in a program, Intercambio in which we mentor the eight graders from our district middle school. I've gained leadership skills and responsibility throughout my high school years and feel that I can explore and develop them beyond belief in leadership. I believe in diversifying our school as a whole, but starting in our leadership class. I want to pursue making our school into a safe place for people who feel out of place who are scared to speak their mind. Goals of mine as class officer would be more inclusivity regarding our affinity groups, hosting more events throughout Tigard high school. Overall, I want Tigard high school to become a place that students feel safe and welcomed, but mostly included. Thank you for your time and consideration. Vote Briana Castellanos Zuniga as one of your senior class officers!

Carol Cortes De Aguiar

My name is Carol Cortes and I want to be one of your class officers. A few fun facts about me are that I am Brazilian and Mexican, I love to travel, I like to cook, and I love music. This year I was in the Assemblies committee which means my group and I got to plan and run most of the assemblies this year. My favorite part was being able to set up games such as relay races, jeopardy, hungry hippos, etc... I hope that I can do this again for you guys and make them better based on what you guys loved! My main goal is to make Tigard a welcoming and inclusive place by hosting more school events that are put on through the students in our community. I want to hear the ideas the
students have and try to turn them into reality, making sure that everyone's ideas are heard and put into action. I value making sure that everyone feels included and I want people to enjoy being a part of the Tigard High School community. In addition, another goal I have is to create a good relationship between leadership and the student body. Leadership is here to support and encourage students to speak up about their wants and needs, and I value creating a relationship where students feel comfortable and hopeful about speaking with leadership about their ideas.
