As North Broward Eagles, we are privileged to have an incredible team of student leaders who work tirelessly to make our North Broward home the best it can be. A significant contributor to the student-led atmosphere at North Broward is the Student Senate, a platform composed of students who work to bring about policy changes to represent student interests and advocate for their peers. Lexi Goldich, current President of the Student Senate, emphasizes the significance of the Student Senate, “Five years ago, we established the Student Senate as a way to give students a voice to elevate the North Broward community. The Student Senate is composed of a group of students who serve as the legislative body, advocating for student interests, facilitating participation in policy-making, and acting as a voice between the student body and administration. Student Senate is a position that students must run for to represent their class. The Senate is composed of 26 Senators, and each grade has five Senators who must be elected. The Athletics, Fine Arts, LPA, Residential Life, and STEAM departments each have an At-Large Senator that respective department heads nominate.” Since Senators are the liaison between students and faculty, it is imperative to know them, as these are the leaders whom our community trusts. Hence, the third edition of the Eagle Gazette series, “North Broward’s Senators: Voices for Every Student,” where we introduce you all to your leaders. This third edition focuses on North Broward’s Sophomore Senators. Let’s get to know them!
