Ramsey students are stepping up to play a crucial role in the upcoming election by becoming trained poll workers.
Why it matters: High school poll workers not only fill staffing gaps but also bring tech-savvy skills to the voting process.
Their involvement doubled from last year, rising from 20 to 40 students, demonstrating a growing interest in civic duties.
Engaging in these activities fosters early political involvement and a deeper understanding of the election system.
What they're saying: "I’m incredibly proud of our students for training as poll workers," says Brennan Heffernan, Supervisor of Social Studies & World Languages. "They demonstrate a commitment to active citizenship by supporting our electoral process."
The bottom line: Empowering students as poll workers strengthens democracy and prepares them for future civic roles. Way to go, Rams!
