Offices and Elections
In order to be eligible for positions of honor or eligible to serve in an elected position of
responsibility, students will be required to have earned academic credit from the Borden
County I.S.D. during the previous year or the present year. For example, a student would
be eligible to try out or run for a position of responsibility such as a cheerleader, class
officer, or other position of responsibility prior to the conclusion of the year in which
they would earn credit. However, the student would not be allowed to serve in the
position of responsibility until after fulfilling the requirement of earning credit from the
Borden County School. Students would not be eligible to be considered for positions of
honor such as class favorites, homecoming queen, or other positions of honor until the
student fulfilled the responsibility of earning credit from the Borden County I.S.D. This
policy will be in force for all elected positions of honor and elected positions of
responsibility unless otherwise stated in board policy or the student handbook. The
school administration will interpret the difference between positions of honor and
responsibility.
As soon as possible after school begins, the various classes will elect class officers. The
class officers should come from the best all-around students of the class. A class officer
should be one who can truly represent the best interest of the class as a whole and one
who has ability in public speaking so as to be able to carry on a class meeting by using
proper parliamentary procedure.
Football Beau: The Football Beau is selected by the vote of the high school girls. The
eligible nominees will come from the varsity football team roster. A majority vote is
needed to win. The second and third place candidates serve as alternates. The voting to
select the three nominees and then the Beau will be by secret ballot. If there is no
majority vote on the first ballot, the two students with the most votes will face a run-off
to determine the Football Beau.
Homecoming Queen: The Homecoming Queen is selected by the vote of the high school
student body. Nominees are the senior girls; the three girls with the most votes will be
the candidates for Homecoming Queen. A majority vote is needed to win. The second
and third place candidates serve as alternates. The voting process will be by secret ballot.
