With the 2024-2025 school year well underway at Boothbay Region High School (BRHS), its newest student body president, senior Cleyton Splaine, is settling into his role.
A few months ago, Splaine was debating whether he was the right fit for the job. He didn’t think he was extroverted enough. He didn’t have the confidence that even the more reserved of the past presidents had shown. Yet, with the encouragement of his friend and former Student Body President Colby Allen, he decided to throw his hat in the ring. And he won. “I received overwhelming support from not only just my friends, but people I barely knew. So, it was pretty inspiring and touching,” Splaine recalled.
Splaine’s job is multifaceted. He’s the head of the student council, who represent their peers and help make decisions with school administration on “student matters” like dress codes, or disciplinary policies. The group also does most of the planning for the fun activities, such as Homecoming, Winter Carnival, pep rallies, and parades. In addition, Splaine is the student representive during school board meetings.
