SGA changes prom, HC, more

Recently, the Student Government Association changed the way annual events will operate. Prom has been moved to the Starkville High School gym on April 28 instead of the Sportsplex on April 21. “We had to change the date because of Super Bulldog Sunday, and [the DJs] were all booked,” SGA president and senior Wheeler Richardson said. Next fall, the Homecoming Court will include both boys and girls, meaning that there will not only be a Homecoming Queen, but a Homecoming King as well. The SGA also changed the Who’s Who program. Starting this year Who’s Who will only be for seniors and will be during Senior Week. The traditional categories have been abolished and new ones, such as Most Likely to Trip Onstage, have taken their place. “It was way chaotic being held during a pep rally,” Richardson said. “Too many people were yelling and no one could hear who won.” The SGA also added two new leadership positions. The Liaison will report SGA news to The Jacket Buzz , and the Parliamentarian will keep order during the meetings. All positions will be re-elected at the end of this school year.
