On March 30th, the slate of George Bashour and Ben Fischbach was elected to be the student leaders of Saint Ignatius for the 2011-2012 school year. Filling the other top posts will be Dominic Gibbons as secretary and Rory Dayton as treasurer. Bashour and Fischbach will replace current president Chris Razek and vice-president Ryan Ivancic.
Bashour’s duties as president will include running the school rallies and serving as the student representative at Board of Regents meetings. In aninterview, Bashour said he decided to run for the position because he loves the school and wants to play a bigger role in it. “I hear different ideas from my friends,” he said, and he would like to push the good ideas forward.
One thing Bashour hopes to do as president is to add another all school dance to the calendar. “We heard the idea for the dance from Dominic Gibbons and Dan Martin during their speech, and really liked it.” Bashour also said that he would like to increase school spirit by pepping up the rallies and holding more events like the March Madness three-on-three tournament. He said that the thing he is most looking forward to in the new job is getting to work with people and getting ideas moving.
“I’m excited for the job and the new school year,” Bashour said.
