Being A Leader AT SJA
Brennan O’Farrell ’25
St. Johnsbury, Vermont
2024-2025 Student Body President
When I arrived at St. Johnsbury Academy as a ninth grader, I had minimal leadership experience and wasn’t confident in my ability to be a leader. Over the past four years, however, my journey at St. Johnsbury has been transformative. Through my involvement in student government, class council, and the National Honor Society, I have had numerous opportunities to grow as a leader. These experiences ultimately prepared me to serve as student body president during my senior year. During my time serving as president, I have received unwavering support from my teachers and peers, which has been invaluable, encouraging me to thrive in this role and make a meaningful impact.
