The school president is 17?

• IAmBroom 1y ago
  Yes, the president of the student-elected body of mostly-powerless "school government."

    The student-elected body is often called the Student Council. Sometimes each grade level will have a class president. Varies from school to school for the details.

      Can't edit so I'll reply: This is in the United States.

    Other countries don't have prefects? Wikipedia seems to indicate the phenomenon is worldwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_president https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_president

      We wouldn't call such a thing a president, but yes.

  That's just an elected student position that usually interfaces with the school leadership about student issues - it isn't the vice principal/principal/superintendent that run the school(s)
