2025 Candidates for SGA.

What makes a good member of SGA? Should it be the most popular, or most athletic, or the smartest students in school? That seems to be the debate every year, and I can tell you with full confidence that all of those answers are wrong. SGA is a vital part of this school and the student body’s representation during the school year. You can’t have just anyone representing the entire student body, they have to be the best. As a previous member of SGA, I can tell you with experience what is most important for this job. A member of SGA must be experienced, trustworthy, well-rounded, and open to criticism and new ideas. I believe I fit this criteria and would make a great member on SGA for the upcoming school year.

As a three time member of SGA, I know exactly what it takes to be the voice of the student body. I’ve got plenty of experience and know what we’ve done well on in the past, and what we haven’t done well on in the past. As both a member of the junior marshals and the varsity football and basketball team, I’m well rounded and extremely involved in the school. I can speak for the needs of so many groups because I’m a part of so many myself. And the most important thing, Im open to everything. I want the student body’s opinions and their criticism, because they put their trust in me to be their voice if they vote for me. We as students need our thoughts and ideas heard by the administration at times, not only for our own good, but for the good of the school.

In conclusion, I believe I am a perfect candidate for SGA this upcoming year because I am a well-rounded and experienced leader. If you disagree, thats alright. All I ask the student body to do, is to truly think before voting. Don’t just vote for your friends or for the most popular kid in your grade. Vote for the person who you think will represent you and the school the best. Someone who will take your criticism and ideas, and use those to better the school. Your vote not only affects you, but it affects the entire school, so make it count.

Hi, my name is Carson Beard, and I’m running for student government representative. I may be new to Dominion Christian School, but in the short time I’ve been here, I’ve already come to appreciate the strong relationships between students and teachers and the welcoming culture that makes this school special. Moving to a new school isn’t always easy, but the way people have treated me here has made it a great experience, and I want to help keep that same spirit going for others. To feel welcome at a new school is always the dream and as a Student Government Representative, I want others to feel the exact same way I did.

Outside of the classroom, I’ve been involved in baseball for basically all my life, which has taught me the value of teamwork, discipline, and leadership. I’ve also been a part of the Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy, where I’ve had the chance to work on service projects that give back to the community. These experiences have helped me learn how to listen to others, communicate clearly, and lead by example—all things I believe are important for a student government representative.

If elected, I’ll work hard to make sure every student feels heard and valued. I want to help plan events that bring us closer together as a school and give students more opportunities to connect, have fun, and grow. I care about this community, and I’m ready to step up and represent you. Thanks for your support!

Have you ever wanted to have a say in what happens with events or activities at Dominion? I am willing to be the person to make sure that you have that say. My name is Lauren Cribb and this is my sixth year at Dominion Christian School. I have been a Student Ambassador, a member of the Chick Fil A Leadership Program, and am involved in NHS and Beta Club. My friends would say that I am reliable, loyal, hard working, and true to my word. I am extremely honored to have been nominated for SGA to represent the graduating class of 2026. If I was a representative of the twelfth grade class I would make sure that everyone had a voice. I would attend to any concerns that the student body had and would try to be a good leader for this school.

In my personal experience, since Dominion is such a small school, it can feel like everyone has a place or group in the school but you. I have felt this way in the past. I would hope to promote activities and clubs that give a place for everyone to find their group. If I was chosen for this role, then I would voice any concerns or suggestions you bring to me to the SGA as suggestions for consideration.
Let’s make next year a fun year filled with lots to look forward to! Let’s make DCS a school we are proud to call our own! Vote for Lauren! Be blessed!

In many schools, there is a moment when students don’t just need hope, they need a voice that speaks out, a leader who listens, and someone who stands up when it counts. That’s why I’m running for the Student Government Association with a simple message: “Lead Loud. Stand Strong. This is more than a catchy slogan; it is a promise.

To lead loudly means I won’t be silent when something goes wrong for us as students. I’ll speak out in meetings, represent your perspective, and make sure that our voices are heard by school leadership. As someone who does not talk a lot, I am willing to give this my all and do my very best to help make the school the best it can be for everyone. I will be strong, and I do not give in when I’m tested. I’m committed to standing strong for what is right, whether it be fighting for better student resources, raising school spirit, or building a campus that serves us all better. And more than that, being the voice that refuses to back down means that I will never stop fighting for what is important to you. I am not here to sit around and watch things happen or to keep things the same: I am here to fight, to speak, to amplify student voices, to make sure our student government does what it’s supposed to and works for all of us.

My name is Grayce Rowell, and I would love to represent my class as a student government representative. I have served for the past three years on the student government and would love to continue to be on it next year. I have plenty of experience running different school events and planning dances. I have also been in leadership positions such as the Varsity Tennis Captain. I can also work well with other people, and I have great communication skills that are needed for student government.

I would like to be on the student government because I want to help make important decisions on how we can make our school better. I want to listen to all of my peers, and I want to make sure everyone has a voice. Teamwork is also very important for student government, and I want to work with my class to make the school better. Let’s work together and make our senior year the best it can be!

Knights’ pride is a very important thing to me; that is why it is important to pick someone who represents the student body well, and is willing to work and support the students when it comes to everything from sports, school, and service projects.

You want somebody who is represents the student body well, which includes these requirements. They are active in sports, good at academics, participates in extracurricular activities to benefit the community, while also being proud of their school. The way you show you are proud of this school is by being open-minded to all ideas of the school while also doing what is best. With me at President, I will make it my utmost priority to show knights’ pride in everything that we do.

The SGA President should also be willing to support the students by supporting all things from sports, school, and service projects. This means helping kick off projects to support our community or fellow knights, showing up to support school sports teams, and most importantly willing to help improve academics in all sorts of ways.

I would be the best choice because I have all those characteristics. I have done NHS, and Chick-fil-A Leader Academy. To not just support the school but the community. I am a Football team captain, Scout in Troop 144. I have leadership qualities and experiences that barley anyone can beat. That is what you need for President, a leader.

In conclusion SGA President must be someone who cares about the school they attend, cares about all people who attend, and wants to make their school a better place. Not be just a school, but be a community. That is why I am the best choice for SGA President.

I believe leadership is about using your voice to lift others up, and I want to be that voice for our class. For years, I wanted to apply but held back, thinking I wouldn’t be chosen. This year, I’ve decided to go for it. Like Wayne Gretzky said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” I’m ready to take mine.

I bring leadership experience from a wide range of settings. Most recently, I graduated from the Cobb Chamber Youth Leadership program, where I led my team in a competitive “Shark Tank” challenge. We created a brand-new product, spent over a month developing a business model, and presented our idea to a panel of judges. I coordinated research, managed logistics, and designed the graphics for the slide deck. Our team won by a landslide, and the judges said they forgot it wasn’t even real; that’s how strong our presentation was.

• Through the Cobb County Youth Commission, I also had the honor of shadowing Chairwoman Lisa Cupid for a week.
• I’ve worked as a ride trainer at Six Flags, where I led teams across four attractions, trained new hires, made logistical decisions, and advocated for my crew’s needs daily.
• I’ve also led a portion of a service project through NHS, organized a Chick-fil-A Spirit Night through the Chick-fil-a Leadership Academy, and founded the debate club.
• I have served as a student ambassador and teacher’s aide, and I lead a toddler room every Sunday at my church.
• I also went on a mission trip to Ecuador and will be returning soon.

If elected, I’ll bring creativity, leadership, and a passion for making sure every voice is heard. Thanks for your support!

When being presented with the question “why should we vote for you?” it really got me thinking–why should I be a candidate? And to be honest, there really is nothing that makes me one in a million. I too, as much as anyone else struggles with jealousy, fall into gossip, and I definitely do not have a mind-blowing GPA (I’m working on it don’t worry). I am human, I want to show that I am not perfect, but I will continue to be the best version of myself everyday and keep the Lord close to my heart.

I want to be a voice for our school and a voice for you. When voting for me I promise to be someone you can come to whenever you need a friend, advice, or prayer. I will strive to give my best in everything I do and will always be open to new ideas.

I have been blessed with many leadership roles such as cultural appreciation president, Varsity Volleyball captain both in and outside of school, and yearbook sports editor. With all of these roles I have learned that there will always be lows that come along with the highs. During this year I dealt with hardships within my role as captain. Having a coach continuously put me and my team down no matter what. Dealing with this taught me that yes, we should always respect authority, but there is a certain point where we must stand up for ourselves. That’s what I want to do for our senior class. I promise to always advocate for the needs of our class and others and make this year the best it can be for everyone, Thank you for all your support!!!

Having already been on SGA for the past two years, and attending Dominion since sixth grade, I’m very excited to be nominated for another chance to be on SGA. My experience of productivity, work ethic, and dedication will help me be a representative for my piers.

I love being a part of our school, and knowing I can make a difference. I can be counted on to be at every meeting, and help with anything whether it’s the book sale or candy grams, I want to make a difference. Being at the school for so long has helped me know where I can help, and be a part of the school environment. I would be honored in representing the class of 2026 in SGA.

I would like to run for SGA because I care about our school’s environment and the students. I wish to be a voice for my peers, whose opinions and concerns will be heard. During my time at Dominion, I have been involved in many clubs and events, helping the community, and have learned to be creative, productive, and responsible.

SGA is not about me but the student body. School spirit and events should be a memorable part of high school, and it is up to those who are a part of SGA to ensure this. I will work hard to achieve these goals and encourage our Dominion Christian. Taking the time and dedication to make everyone feel valued is of utmost importance to me.

Hi, my name is MaCailya Duncan. I would be grateful to be a part of SGA for the 2025-2026 school year. I’m a varsity cheerleader and student ambassador. I’m in the Mu Alpha Theta, National Honor Society, and National Beta Club academic groups. I also serve on camera and as a moderator for live streams for my church.

I wish to be elected for SGA because of what I can offer to my potential SGA members and my grade. My leadership characteristics are creativity, flexibility, and listening. Creativity is valuable because I love to share my artistic abilities and different ideas that would attract more students to be more interested in our fundraisers and themes for school events. Flexibility is important because when, for example, an event didn’t go as planned, I would try to think of new ideas to provide a new solution. Instead of getting flustered or pondering the failed attempt. Listening is significant because every opinion, idea, or person should be heard. I would love to hear everybody’s voice for an event, situation, or even for a normal conversation. I would make sure to not listen to the ideas of my SGA peers alone, but also to the student body. Therefore, we can appeal to not just like-minded people. I would best contribute to my class by having integrity, showing kindness, and maintaining a Christ-like character.

As a former SGA representative, my job is and will be, to better our school. Listening to the students wants or needs and putting it into action. I want to be elected because I love being part of the team. I love being able to plan and organize what gets done. Reporting back to my grade when necessary. At the end of the day, I enjoy being able to lead and consistently getting the job done.

As an appointed representative, I have many leadership skills I will bring to the table. I show it in the clubs I do and how I act around the school. I will take my job seriously, trying to make our school a better place. In closing, I would like to say if chosen to represent the school I would do so with diligence and enthusiasm!

I have desire to be elected for Student Government for a couple reasons. Firstly, I would like to help add to school spirit which is important to me. Some see at as a requirement that we have to push through each year at places like retreat, but I feel that if we add to that it would be a more enjoyable time overall. Going into Junior year is a great time for me to help with this as I will know have known my peers for longer so I know better ways to reach them. I want to take everyone’s ideas into account so we get the best vision for how we should go about things. I would also take this as an opportunity for leadership in the school and minorly for the community around us. Ultimately I want people to see God through SGA’s actions and development throughout the next year.

I feel as though I am a great candidate for this SGA organization. I was on it last year and I was able to get a lot done with my other students. My main focus this year is to help bring as many events to the school as possible. Last year we were not able to have a basketball pep rally and that was very sad. This year I feel like me being a junior and the current juniors becoming seniors I feel like there will be a lot more to be able to get done. I also want our students to be able to feel like they are playing a part in what goes on around the school like retreat when we go on retreat the students vote for our different categories and stuff certain stuff like that.

I know what I bring to the table and I feel like I am the best candidate to be on SGA.

You should choose me for SGA because I want to actively participate in school activities to make them better for my peers. I have captained in volleyball, I am in Mu Alpha Theta, I am in National Honors and Beta, and I want to hear others opinions. I will work hard to communicate with my peers and make activities and events as effective and enjoyable as possible. I would make a difference in SGA and would strive to help others.

I know what I bring to the table and I feel like I am the best candidate to be on SGA.

I would like to be a 10th grade class officer for the Student Government Association so that I can make a difference within my class and the school as a whole. I want to represent the voices of my fellow students by being a bridge between the student body and administration.

I have attended Dominion since 6th grade and I have seen it grow. Over the last 4 years I have been on the volleyball, basketball, and track teams. Through sports I learned teamwork , how to communicate, and how to be confident in my abilities. I learned how to multitask by participating in sports and still maintaining excellent grades. Having been an athlete over the last 4 years,I have seen the financial need in some of the sports programs. I believe that I can work with administrators to offer a different point of view and new ideas to help improve the fundraising efforts for all sports. I think that sports are an important part of the school experience and look forward to working alongside administrators to help the programs continue to grow.

I am confident that I will be able to apply all my qualities to strengthen the Student Government Association and its relationship with administration. Vote for me, Zoe Anderson as 10th grade class officer for the Student Government Association.

I would love to be in SGA because of the amazing opporunity it could bring and because i enjoy helping others and being involved in activites. I always try to do my best in everything I do and to homor God in every way possible. I would love this leardership opporunity, I always try to listen to everyone and make sure eveyone is heard because that is very important to me.

If I am elected I hope to contribute greatly, show kindness, and continue to show integrity. I believe that leadership is not just about having a title its about setting an example for others. I will be committed to giving me best, setting an examplento others, and being someone me classmate can count on.

I desire to be a 10th grade class representative for the Student Government Association because I would like the opportunity to share new ideas and make a positive impact on Dominion and the student body. I will vow to listen to my classmates and take their opinions on ideas presented in the SGA meetings so I can then turn back and put my classmates’ opinions before the SGA. I have some good leadership qualities like the ability to communicate well and I am a good problem solver. I like to have new ideas presented and bring those to my classmates to make them work.

As someone who races go-karts almost every weekend, I have learned to balance my racing and my classwork and maintain good grades. In the Student Government Association, I am a very good multi-tasker and can balance my academics and SGA office. When it comes to classmates, I am not afraid to assist them if they need anything. Many times my parents go on vacation, I am required to step in and keep the house running smoothly.

If elected, I will provide meaningful input on topics like Retreat and spirit weeks. If elected I would like to place a suggestion box in the lobby that would allow students to place a little piece of paper into the box and the SGA can review it and take their concerns into consideration. Overall, I would like to be elected to the Student Government Associated because I believe that I can provide meaningful input on behalf of the 10th grade class.

My name is Andrew Harden if you don’t know who I am and the reason that I want to be an SGA officer is because I want to be able to lead my fellow peers by listening to and making their ideas a reality. I am someone who will listen to the ideas of others and take their thoughts and desires into account in making all of my decisions. I am a good listener and I take the desires of my peers as my own.

I like to lead whether it’s for a project or for something like SGA, and I have been told by my friends, family, and teachers that I am a good leader. I would like to be a part of SGA because I would like to add my own thoughts in what the school and the sophomore class does. I also think that I should be a part of SGA because I take other people’s ideas and thoughts into account no matter who made the idea or what the idea is. I will listen to what the majority wants to be able to lead our class to the best of my ability and to have the best 10th grade year possible.

I know what it is like to not be listened to and for my ideas to be overshadowed and ignored. It is my goal, if I get elected, to make sure that no one else feels that way and that everyone is heard because no one deserves to be ignored.

My name is Zoe Jackson and I will be in 10th grade during the 2025-2026 school year. I would love to represent my class for SGA this school year. I would be a great representative for many reasons. I have been told all my life that I am a natural leader. I enjoy leading others, and I understand that a true leader is also a humble servant.

I have had experience in the past with leading: I was captain of my middle school basketball team, I have been president of many school clubs, and I lead a girls Bible study. I have a calling on my life to be a leader for the Gospel and SGA is a great place to start.

I promise to be true to my word and honestly listen to the suggestions and desires of my classmates. I ask that you would consider electing me for 10th grade SGA representative of the 2025-2026 school year. I won’t let you down.

Firstly, I wish to be re-appointed as an SGA officer because I want to continue to be a part of the welcoming community that I found in the group. SGA was such a blessing to be a part of this year, and I know it will only enrich my sophomore year further. I still am hoping to develop my leadership skills, and I know that this year has helped me learn how to work with others better. Taking part in candy gram sales, the Dominion Dinner, and other activities in SGA have really taught me how to be confident in my own way of working and thinking.

Secondly, I still value Jesus’ opinion over anyone else’s, and I still promise that I will not form any idea for our school that does not revolve around Him. My freshman experience in SGA has made me enjoy being around other people and listening to them even more than I originally (which was a lot) had at the beginning of the year. Jesus did good things through me in the time I put into SGA, and I would be so grateful to be able to contribute once again.

Lastly, I believe that I can once again contribute to the SGA organization by being an advocate and a clear speaker for my class. Being a part of SGA and helping my fellow classmates once again this year would be a continuously immense honor for me. My sophomore year will be my fifth year attending Dominion, and I have first-handedly experienced that there is so much good in this school. The least I can do to repay it is be a quality officer on SGA once again.

I want to be a part of SGA because I believe that to whom much is given, much is required. This foundation of servant leadership is the driving force behind my desire to be a class officer. Through SGA, I am able to give back to the school and its students, listen to the concerns of students, and be a bridge between the students and the school’s administration. I believe my integrity, character strength, and desire to serve make me an ideal candidate for this position.

Through the course of my life, I have tried to develop deeper leadership characteristics through a variety of experiences. I have served on SGA and Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy as a freshman. In each of these organizations, I have assisted with different school functions to include gift baskets for law enforcement and the homeless. Outside of school, I have developed leadership characteristics through serving at my church in the children’s ministry, coffee bar, and the food pantry. I plan to further develop my leadership skills through attending the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Camp at Georgia Southwestern State University in June 2025.

If elected or appointed as a class officer, I will create positive change and improvement of the school through actively listening to the concerns of my fellow classmates and being a voice for them. I will devote time, effort, energy, and character to this position of trust and reflect the values of Dominion consistently. I will also dedicate myself to working alongside my other SGA officers to create an environment of teamwork and collaboration.

Here are some ideas I would like to potentially explore for the 2025-2026 school year.

• Attempt to get more diverse speakers for Wednesday Chapel by reaching out to different pastors or community leaders (who are Christian) to come and speak.
• Form after-school study groups for advanced and AP classes.
• Create a tutoring program for students who may be struggling in a certain subject, where a classmate or team of classmates could assist.
