Senior Max Razmjoo and junior Fiori Lee lead this year’s Student Council as president and vice president, respectively. The Student Council at Sage Hill plays a crucial role in planning student events and cultivating the school’s culture. Both Razmjoo and Lee are proud to represent Sage Hill as student leaders, and they plan to use their skills to benefit the school community throughout the coming year.
Razmjoo has been involved in Student Council since his freshman year. He had been a grade-level co-chair for three years before being elected to the top job.
“I just wanted to be a representative for my classmates and to make the school a better place. That is what we do through planning our events and programs. It is all about the students and representing the students,” Razmjoo said.
For the past few years, a senior has held the role of vice president. As a junior, Lee feels particularly honored to take on this role and excited to begin her journey in Student Council.
“I feel a sense of responsibility to set a good example so that other juniors shoot for the stars like I did. I want people to believe in themselves and know that they can do whatever they want to do,” said Lee.
Student Council meets weekly to develop ideas and plans for the year. This year’s student leaders already have exciting ambitions that they hope to pursue in the coming year.
“We are focusing on making Sage a more spirited place,” Razmjoo said. “We want to get people more connected when it comes to town meeting games, the Sage Cup, and planning events. We want to increase the role that students play in the decisions we make… Anyone can come up to us and tell us if they have a suggestion or idea about anything that we are doing.”
“I want to make sure the entire student body feels represented. And I want to plan exciting and fun events for people that they can enjoy,” Lee said.
In addition to helping support the Sage Hill community, being a Student Council member has taught students such as Razmjoo valuable life lessons about leadership.
“I have learned that leadership requires lots of dedication, lots of hard work, and lots of collaboration… The best thing we can do as student leaders is take everybody’s perspectives into account and try to create a school that’s inclusive and accepting of all,” Razmjoo said.
