No stranger to success, junior Alexis Zaborac has returned to StuCo for her second consecutive year as her class’s president. Involved in Student Council since the eighth grade, she has had experience in both the vice presidency and presidency, demonstrating a natural knack for leadership.
“She’s more mature than most to take on this position,” junior vice president Tyre Russell said. “Her spunkiness, love for others and selflessness is what separates her from typical students.”
For her new role as junior class president, Zaborac is already bamboozled with this year’s upcoming tasks. Currently, she is saddled with the Homecoming dance, but she eagerly looks ahead to Prom.
“I love being involved and planning the dances, especially Homecoming, though I’m extremely looking forward to the juniors managing Prom. On our StuCo retreat, which was basically our first meeting, we broke into committees. I’m in Publicity, so I’ll be in charge of posters, tickets and t-shirts.”
Besides StuCo, Zaborac is active in plenty of other extracurricular activities, namely Breakfast Club, Key Club and Cheer, to which she gives credit for shaping her into the leader she has become.
“I think they’ve [my activities] made me more creative and keep me involved, which helps me to know what everybody’s thinking. I then bring their ideas back to StuCo and help to somehow try to get them incorporated.” Zaborac said.

With a love for graphic design, Zaborac was one of 40 regional finalists in the annual Doodle4Google contest, where she created her own original Google logo depicting her desires for the future.
“Because of Alex’s hard work, she has been successful on both a local level and a national level,” Graphic Design teacher Cary Morris said. “Her Art Show Invitation Design won our school’s graphic design competition and was printed and sent out to the Liberty community, and Alex’s Doodle4Google design was a regional finalist (top 40 out of over 100,000 designs submitted nationally). Her hard work and her devotion to academic excellence make me believe that her potential is unlimited.”
With so many outstanding accomplishments, there is much faith that Zaborac will not disappoint the Class of 2013 or the rest of the student body this school year.
“I really want to see her accomplish Prom and I know it’ll be a definite success. She’s super creative and can make something out of anything,” Russell said. “She’s so good at getting the student body involved and informed about the events we [StuCo] put on.”
