Student officers play a huge role in shaping our senior year. A plan of action and strong leadership skills are essential for a successful year.
Pharaoh’s school officers are about academic achievement, leadership and making sure our voices are heard. President Tayler Toodle, vice president Matthew Pulley, secretary India Mullen, treasurer Sareniti Wallace Lawson and sergeant at arms Jada Vanner.
Many teachers at CMA have had these students for three years and have seen their growth in everyday life.
Teacher Scott Conwell said, “This year’s senior officers are a dream team; all honor students and are ready for action. The officers are determined to make 2024 the best year possible. Students needed someone to stand up and make sure their opinions were heard.”

The officers are proud of their accomplishments and are glad to make their class happen.
“Being a class officer means being a leader and doing your part to make things happen,” Toodle said. “Yes, it has been challenging, but I am handling it simply fine. And as for being president, well, that was an easy decision for me. I wanted to be a face in the school and make a difference. I saw some things I thought could be better from past years, so I decided to step up and take charge. My grades and my character spoke for themselves, so I went for it. And let me tell you, I am glad I did.”
“I chose to become a vice president for the class of 2024 because I wanted to make sure their voices are … heard,” Pulley said. “As you may notice I am the only male officer, this can be very stressful especially dealing with females, but – these ladies are intelligent and hard workers and that I know that we can make anything happen. I do not regret a thing.”
“I wanted to show everyone what real leadership looks like,” Lawson said. “Of course, it has been tough sometimes, but I just take it one step at a time and keep pushing forward. That is what being a leader is all about – never giving up”.
“Now, when it comes to being secretary, it wasn’t really on my radar at first,” Mullen said.
“I did not even know what a secretary did until I asked around. But once I realized I could do it, I went for it. My goal this year is simple: I want our senior class to enjoy themselves, make memories, and look back on this year with nothing but admiration.”
Together, the group is leading by example and making our school the best it can be.
They are setting the standard for what a team of class officers should be.
