According to House sponsor Sarah Wolff, House is planning for Houndstock, which is tomorrow from 4 to 10 p.m. at the football stadium or in the fieldhouse if it rains.

Along with Houndstock, House is also preparing for a change in leadership and new members next year.  Meredith Baranowski, future speaker of the House and junior, said she is excited for next year.

“Student government has always been a huge focus of mine throughout my education,” Baranowski said via email, “so I’m looking forward to taking on an even greater responsibility in this arena.”

Speaker of the House Mohammad Issa said he thinks Baranowski will be prepared next year when she takes over.

“(Baranowski) will be speaker next year with a whole new Cabinet and House, so I am sure she will have a lot of fresh, new ideas,” Issa said via email.

Baranowski said that she looks forward to seeing what she can do for next year.

“As of right now, no concrete decisions have been made for changes next year,” Baranoski said. “But Cabinet is always open to feedback and ideas students have to better our school’s student government.”

According to Wolff, the House Cabinet– which is still undecided– will meet in the future and discuss the changes they would like to make next year.  She also said that she is looking forward to working with the new leaders next year. Baranowski also said that she is enthusiastic with being able to work together with the Cabinet next year.

“Really, I just can’t wait to get one more year in Cabinet with the amazing kids in this group,” Baranowski said. “I feel so lucky to be going into my third year, and can’t wait for the great things that next year will surely bring.”

Along with the new leadership, Issa said that the House is looking forward to some events next year, such as Tailgate 4 Life, which is the first event for House next year.

“We haven’t started planning for it right now, but everyone should come out.  It was a great time this year,” Issa said.  “Also, Relay for Life is June 2 and 3, and even though House does not run the event, Cabinet always makes a team and we’d love for others to come raise awareness about cancer with us.”

Wolff said that if students are interested in being a part of House, they should listen for announcements and look out for applications the first few weeks of next school year.  Baranowski said that there are other ways that students can stay informed throughout the year.

“I strongly recommend following @CarmelHSGov,” Baranowski said. “It’s the student government Twitter account that posts updates and info for all of the school, whether you’re in student government or not.”
