Lincoln High School Representative: Madison Street
Bio coming soon
Twelve Bridges High School Representative: Clara Williams
I’m incredibly thankful to be serving my 2nd year on the WPUSD school board. I'm a current
high school senior at Twelve Bridges High School and work to represent not only my fellow
students, but also work to ensure student reputation across the district. The most important accomplishment I’ve taken part in during my time on the board has been my work in creating the WPUSD Student Senate which provides a voice to 4th-12th grade students across the district and encourages more student involvement and responsibility for young voices. Being able to provide a platform for students to advocate for themselves and the needs of their fellow students is so important to me and something I’m so incredibly proud to know will continue even after my education here comes to an end.
My family has lived in Lincoln since 2007, and I’m incredibly proud to have been educated in
Western Placer schools growing up, I’m so thankful for my amazing teachers and all the WPUSD staff who has helped shape me into the individual I am now, and I hope to do the same for students and families in our district and our community, I am so thankful to call Lincoln my home.
In my free time I enjoy studying medicine and am a member of the TBHS Biomedical Pathway, and serve as president of my school’s HOSA club and volunteer in the Emergency Department at Sutter Roseville. In my future I’m hoping to study medicine and work to help people. Thank you to everyone on the board and throughout the district who provided me with this
incredible opportunity and I hope I can make y’all proud!
Phoenix High School Representative: Shelby Crain
I started my education in WPUSD. I went to Creekside Oaks for kindergarten then transferred to Lincoln Crossing Elementary in first grade. From there I attended Twelve Bridges Middle, then Lincoln High School. Currently, I am a senior at Phoenix High.
My junior and senior year is when I started to get even more involved and I published my own article and was able to advance in my role as Key Club president and a School Board member. I loved how involved I was becoming in the community and being able to help create a positive change in our school district.
My time as a student board member has truly changed how I looked at the education system. I am determined to make my voice heard. While being a student board member I am also an active member of the Student Senate and President of our Key Club. I love volunteering in my community. I’m passionate about making sure every student feels heard and safe while making sure every decision that is made is the right one to benefit the students.
After graduation, I plan on becoming a 9-1-1 Dispatcher to continue my passion for helping people and giving the people in my community a person to come to in their time of need. I have grown up in Lincoln and want to make sure that future generations appreciate the great town we live in. My goal is to make our education system the best it can be.
