This collection of speeches will help aspiring class leaders speak from the heart and with confidence, setting them up for a successful class election.
Middle School Class President Election Candidate Speech
Good morning, class 1. First of all, thank you for nominating me for class president. I don’t know if I’m qualified, but since I’m here, I’d like to share my aspirations as a class president candidate. In reality, there are many things that we do in class, things that no one wants to do. From cleaning up after the class, to being a beautician, which is a lot of work. If I were given the opportunity to be class president, I wouldn’t be a bossy, high-pressure leader who bosses you around. I would be a leader who is dedicated to the class and leads by example.
The position of class president is not one to be envied. The role of the class president is to be a liaison between the teacher and the students. The teacher’s instructions are transmitted to you vividly through the class, and your requests and complaints are refined and delivered to the teacher through the class. If you look at the bridges along the countryside, none of them are sacred; they are all worn and battered by footsteps, and the role I have been entrusted with is similar to a bridges. I will never be afraid or reluctant to embrace that process of wear and tear.
The truth is, I don’t have the charisma to win you over. I don’t have the gifts or talents to keep the class cheerful, entertained, and laughing all year long. The only things I have going for me are my hard work, integrity, and a willingness to do the dirtiest, toughest jobs. I don’t think it’s the individual abilities of a class president that will make or break a class’s year. If one class president can change an entire class and make it a year with no regrets, I’ll gladly step down. Because I know my shortcomings. But I also know that what the class needs more than anything is not a dictatorial, overbearing class president, but a class president who lives and breathes with you and keeps the class on track, and so I stand before you with a promise. If you choose me over all the other great candidates, I will dedicate a year of my life to serving the class as your most loyal friend, your errand boy. Please give me the opportunity to earn your hard work and dedication. I ask for your vote.
Student Candidate Speech for Elementary Class President Election
I am a candidate running for class president this new school year. Since the new school year has just begun, I’m sure there are still more of my friends who don’t know much about me yet. I ran for this election with the slogan “Communication is important!”. What do I mean when I say communication is important? First of all, I will be a class president who can communicate with any of my friends, and I know that some people think that just because they are class president, they can do whatever they want, but I think of the role of class president as an errand boy who brings the different voices of the class together and relays them to the teacher, and if the errand boy doesn’t communicate well, the story will get stuck in the middle. I will talk to you about the little things in the class.
I will always listen to my friends with an open mind. If there are friends who are arguing and not talking to each other, I will be the peacemaker and help them get back together. If there are friends who are being bullied or not getting along with their friends, I will be the first one to approach them and say hello and talk to them.
And there’s another thing I want to do. I want to make my class’s website more fun, because right now it’s too formal and not many of my friends write on it. With my teacher’s help, I will redesign my school’s website and create more spaces for friends to chat with each other. With so many different friends in one place, there are bound to be arguments and disagreements, both big and small. Some friends may be loud and vocal, while others may not be able to make their presence felt, and I want them to be able to come on the school website and talk about what they didn’t get to talk about at school, and support each other with comments.
I want to tell you that I am more confident than any other class that I can lead our class to be the most energetic, cheerful, and healthy class in our school. If you want a class that is always smiling, please vote for me. Your vote is very important to me. Thank you for listening to me until the end.
Elementary Class President Election Announcement
Hello, I’m a candidate for 6th grade class 3. I’ve been a class president for a few years now, and this interim one, and I’ve realized that the role of class president can be challenging and demanding. But then I see your smiles, and I feel a rush of pride that my service and hard work is not in vain. That’s why I’m running in this election, because I want to feel the joy and pride of serving my class. If you give me the opportunity to be your class president, I will strive to be an indispensable part of the class.
Do you know about vitamins? Our bodies need very little vitamins, but if we don’t get the recommended amount of vitamins from the foods we eat every day, we won’t be able to live a healthy life. I’m going to be that vitamin for you, and I’m going to do my best to help you have a healthy and enjoyable school day, even if I’m not the person you think of every day.
As an interim class president, I’ve been thinking about the moments when you need a class president: when the class is heavy and depressed, when you’re sinking after being scolded by a teacher, when you need to collect dues or money, and in all the hard and troublesome moments.
Recently, a friend of mine lost his money, and it was a very embarrassing situation, but I made him double-check the missing money before bringing the whole class to a standstill. Fortunately, he found the money and the problem was solved. In this way, I am the one who can give my friends strength when they need it. I am the kind of person who can lead the class and energize the class when problems arise.
Give me a chance, everyone, I’m confident that I will never let you down. I want to be the vitamin of the class, the one who is needed for the class, and I will use my past experience to make the class exciting and fun. I dare to ask for your vote. I hope you will give me a chance to fulfill these promises, and I’m sure it will be a choice you won’t regret. This is the end of my story. Thank you for listening.
Middle school class president election candidate speech emphasizing humor
Hello, I’m a candidate in this year’s class president election. I’d like to start by thanking my classmates for nominating me for class president. So, everyone, what kind of class and class president do you dream of being? I’m sure there are as many different answers to this question as there are students in our class. Do you dream of an honors class that creates a scholarly atmosphere and always comes out on top? Do you expect an orderly and quiet class under the strong leadership of the class president? Do you hope for the goodwill of the class president to provide ice cream when it’s hot and hard? Sadly, all of the above are beyond my capabilities. The Athenian general ‘Themistocles’ once gave a speech that went something like this. “A horse can run fast, but it cannot catch a mouse. A cat, on the other hand, cannot run as fast as a horse, but it catches rats.” In this way, he was saying that everyone is good at something. Just as you can’t teach a horse to catch a mouse or a cat to run a race, he emphasized that people have innate abilities and talents. ‘Themistocles’ was true to his word and became a war hero. His talent was to lead the army to victory by conducting wars with excellent strategy.
I’ve been in charge of the recreation department since elementary school, so I’m good at lifting a down mood. My talent lies in making people laugh. It’s a specialized ability. When the mood in a class is down, if I don’t lift it quickly, that down mood will affect everyone in the class. If I am elected class president, I promise to create a class where, all other things aside, there is laughter, no one is depressed or bullied, and everyone is happy. I don’t have better grades than the other candidates. I won’t be able to treat you to delicious things as often, but if you want to laugh for a year, if you want to fill your year with memories of laughing instead of being depressed, choose me. Give me a chance to be your laughing stock, your class cheerleader, and your cure for the blues for a year. I will make this class a fun class with no room for gloom. If you want to create unforgettable memories of your school years, please choose me without hesitation. Thank you for listening.
High School Class President Election Candidate Speech
When a ship is crossing the dark and turbulent sea at night, the light from a lighthouse is a reliable guide. I am running for this position because I want to be a lighthouse for the class of Grade 3 A. I believe that a person’s value shines through when things are difficult and difficult rather than when things are pleasant and pleasant, just as a lighthouse is more welcome when you are lost and wandering in the dark. In fact, the role of the class president is minimal when things are running smoothly. I promise to know exactly when to step in and when to step back, and to be there for my class whenever they need me most, whenever I need to coordinate and mediate.
It’s a beautiful spring, and we’re greeting each other with smiles and excitement, but when you spend a year in the same space, a lot of things are going to happen, and conflicts and fights are inevitable. I know it’s the responsibility of the class president to bring harmony and unity so that these things don’t weigh down the entire class, and I also know that this harmony doesn’t come in a “this is right and that is wrong” kind of way – I think that’s just irresponsible neglect.
I’m the rational, logical person in the group, the one who listens to my friends’ problems and offers solutions. I’m pretty confident in my ability to handle a year of unexpected events without panicking. A lighthouse shines in the darkness because it has a light of its own that cannot be drowned out by the darkness of the night, and I believe that my calm and rational personality, unwavering and unwavering integrity will serve me well in leading this class. I will be a beacon for the class.
You have the right to choose your class president. Whatever your choice, I will support you, but I implore you to give me the opportunity to serve you as your class president. I am ready and willing to serve you to the best of my ability to make sure you make a choice you will not regret, a choice you will be glad you made. I ask again for your vote, and thank you for listening.
Sample elementary school class president election candidate speech (emphasizing leadership)
Hello, Class B. I am a candidate in this class president election, and I would like to first thank my friends for nominating me as a candidate, and I am proud to say that I am a candidate who will not be ashamed of their names.
You know how white blood cells work as allies when your body is invaded by germs? Some eat the germs and kill them, while others produce antibodies to attack them? When white blood cells are active, a person has a strong immune system. I believe that in order for a class to survive, its members need to be like white blood cells, helping each other, building teamwork and maintaining the class atmosphere. However, this is easier said than done, because as students, we have enough on our plates, and cooperation and unity are not virtues that can be acquired overnight. This is where the presence of a class leader comes into play. Someone with leadership skills, someone with experience, who can handle the crises that come up and protect the class, and someone who can empower you and help you find solutions.
Look at me standing here. Everyone. I have been a class president for the past two years, and I have a proactive personality and leadership skills, and in those two years, I have built the most enjoyable and cohesive class ever. Of course, not every day has been fun, and I have my own know-how from dealing with incidents big and small. I dare to say that I have the ability to lead and orchestrate a class in front of you. I think the most important thing over the course of the year will be to empower students to help themselves and each other to create a fun and energetic class.
There have been some great candidates before me who have given great speeches, but I have the advantage of experience and leadership. A ship with a seasoned captain can ensure everyone’s life even if it runs aground, and I am here, a reliable worker, a class president who is ready for you, so please, everyone, trust me. Please give me a chance to lead the class. I implore you to vote for me. I will be a class leader who fosters cooperation and unity, and I expect you to choose carefully and wisely, because the choices you make today will shape the rest of your year. Join me in building a class where everyone gets along, a class where we help ourselves and care for each other without the help of teachers or others. Remember. I am the most seasoned candidate, the one with the strength and experience. Thank you for listening.
Class president candidate speech emphasizing commitment, service, and preparation
Hello, my name is ○○○, and I’m a candidate for class president. Everyone, do you know what President John F. Kennedy, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, and movie director Steven Spielberg have in common? They were all Boy Scouts when they were younger. I was a Boy Scout until the fifth grade, just like them.
Do you know what the Boy Scout spirit is? It’s dedication, service, and preparation. I was a Boy Scout for several semesters, and that’s how I learned to care for others. If I were to become a troop leader, I would be a leader who can anticipate and prepare for the service I can do for my friends through the activities I learned in Boy Scouts. Last year, I went to volunteer at the Tokyo Expo as a Boy Scout, and I experienced the reward of volunteering by sweating for four hours and cleaning up the trash, such as beverage bottles, that the crowds threw away.
Once you’ve tasted the happiness that comes from doing something for others, you want to do it again because you like the feeling. This is how I am prepared to take on the dirty work of our class. I want to be the kind of class president who is recognized for my service, and I want to show you what a difference a good class president can make.
I know that some of my friends will like the way I step up to the plate, but on the other hand, I know that some of my friends will not like the way I am, but I will take it as a challenge to work more humbly, and I will work hard with a heart of service. Please vote for me because I have the spirit of a Boy Scout. Folks, isn’t it about time we had at least one Boy Scout in our class who is dedicated to serving you?
Middle School Class Election Student Candidate Speech
Good evening, everyone! Hello, I’m a candidate for class president this year. What do you think a class president is? I think a class president is someone who serves and dedicates themselves to the class. A class president is not someone who sits on a high pedestal and dictates and dominates their peers, but someone who serves the class from the lowest position. I understand the meaning and role of a class president, which is why I am more willing than anyone else to sacrifice myself for our class.
I consider this service to be a learning experience that can nurture the mind, because through service, I can learn and improve myself. I believe that by serving as class president, I can learn to improve myself, so I can work for the class with pleasure. When I say service, I don’t mean that I’m going to do something spectacular, I mean that I’m going to come to school 10 minutes before my classmates and clean the classroom, open the windows to let the air in, organize the board, and do the little things that my class needs. I’m going to be the kind of class president who truly sweats it out for you, because if this place where we study all day is cleaner, we’re going to be able to study better and enjoy school more. I’m going to be the kind of class president who truly sweats it out for you, and I’m going to use this as an opportunity to humble myself and grow more mature.
Everyone, I ask you to vote for me because I know the meaning of service! I believe in your choice. This concludes the presentation of class president candidate ○○○. I love you, everyone.
Thank you message from the child president-elect
Hello, I’m ○○○, the child president-elect. It’s a summer that is getting greener and greener thanks to the short rains that moisturized us after a long drought. Thank you so much for putting me, who is not very good or smart, in the position of Children’s President. It seems like only yesterday that I felt the joy and the weight on my shoulders after being elected as Children’s President, and already summer vacation is approaching. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my classmates for giving me another chance in the second semester re-election.
As I see myself learning and realizing one by one through the activities of the Children’s President, I can’t help but think, “I’m so glad I became Children’s President!” A few years ago, there was a dream in my heart that said, “When I reach 6th grade, I will become a child president!” I was just an average student before I became student council president, but I became student council president because I had a dream to be president and a passion to try and achieve it.
Do you remember when I first made my pledge to you six months ago? First, I promised to make our school a clean place for students to study. We’ve raised the level of hygiene in our garbage incinerator, toilets, and even our flower beds are now very clean thanks to our litter picking campaigns. Second, I promised to create a school full of love, and I’m still doing that. For the first time, I organized a festival where we could all prepare and show something together, and I will continue to organize more events, such as class plays and sports competitions, to make our school a fun and happy place to go to. In doing so, I will be fulfilling my last promise, which was to create a fun and exciting school.
It’s hard to imagine success for someone who doesn’t have a goal. In fact, just having a modest goal is like fulfilling a part of a goal. And once you have a goal, if you become a person who is passionate about it and gives it his or her all, then dreams do come true. Now, I will listen to your opinions with humility and sincerity and work hard to become a true worker who is willing to serve with all my heart and mind. I hope that the passion of living a dream with a goal will always be in the hearts of my friends and juniors in our elementary school. With my goal, I will be a children’s president who will do everything in my power for the children of our elementary school for the rest of my life. And I love all the teachers, friends, and younger siblings in our elementary school. Thank you.
Greetings from the Child President-Elect
Hello everyone, I’m ○○○, the winner of the Class President election for the first semester of the 2023 school year. I would like to thank all my friends and classmates who gave me their precious votes. I didn’t feel real at first, but now that I’m president, I feel a heavy weight on my shoulders. As I promised, I promise to serve the school and my classmates with a sincere heart. I also promise that as the representative of our elementary school, I will cherish and love my classmates and try to make our school a place where everyone can have fun and smile. I will work together with the presidents of each class to discuss the inconveniences and needs of our school to improve it, and I will try not to let go of your faith in me.
Dear classmates. When you gave me your precious vote, I promised you that I will do whatever you want to do to make my friends and juniors laugh. This doesn’t mean that I will become a comedian, but it does mean that I will try to make your school life happy and enjoyable. I will make our school not just a school where you study well, but a school where you laugh every day. To do that, I will cherish and love my juniors, and I will do my best to make sure that my juniors follow my seniors. I will lead my school life with 3% of good thoughts in my heart, just as 3% of salt keeps the sea water from rotting. Although I have one body, I will divide my heart into two parts for you, and I will be an honest and warm worker.
The happy smiles and future of our elementary school belong to us, so let’s work together to become autonomous children who can shape the future of our school with our own power. I am ready to do whatever you want me to do, and I am ready to be the president you think I should be. What I need now is the “faith” that you have given me with each and every vote. I hope you will continue to believe in me until the end of my term, even if there are conflicts or mistakes along the way. To those of you who voted for me, thank you again. With gratitude.
