2026 Student Government Candidate



 

I wish to serve because I want to grow as a faithful man and help strengthen the Farrell community through faith, respect, and service. I see this role as more than just a title—it’s about leading by example, showing integrity, and treating others the right way both in and out of school.

 

Stronger Community

My vision is to build a stronger, more united community rooted in our values. I would work to improve communication by giving students more chances to share their voices, and I would help organize service projects and school events that bring people together and reflect our faith.

I also want to encourage respect and accountability, so everyone feels supported and proud to be part of Farrell.

 


 


What is a Vir Fidelis?

To me, a Vir Fidelis is a faithful man who lives with trust in God, respect for others, and responsibility in his actions. He is not perfect, but he tries every day to do what is right, even when it is difficult or unpopular.

Being a Vir Fidelis means having strong character, being honest, and staying loyal to your faith, your family, your school, and your community.

I have reflected on this idea, and I believe a Vir Fidelis is someone who leads by example. He does not just talk about faith. He shows it through kindness, service, and respect. He stands up for others, admits when he is wrong, and tries to make the people around him better.

A true Vir Fidelis understands that leadership is not about attention or power, but about serving others and representing Farrell with pride and integrity.
