Tyler Witzgall was elected President of the Class of 2024 during his freshman year and has maintained that title all four years of high school, always volunteering for class events and ensuring that students in the Class of 2024 have the best high school experience possible.
Being elected class president is no small accomplishment and Tyler has taken his role seriously the past four years, always putting the class first.
As class president, Tyler has helped decorate the halls every time there is a pep rally or winter carnival, and he has been a large contributor to helping raise money for all of these events.
Tyler said, “I am proud of the work we’ve done as a student government and the continued work being done to ensure a smooth and strong end to our senior year”.
Tyler partnered with the class president in Fitchburg and together, they organized a fundraiser to sell Leominster/Fitchburg Football shirts for the Thanksgiving Day Fenway Park Rivalry Football game in 2023. Tyler’s fundraiser raised hundreds of dollars for the Class of 2024.
When asked what Tyler will miss the most about LHS he said, “I will of course miss the people and the feeling of community from Leominster and this high school”.
Not only has Tyler been on student government, but he was a varsity football captain, he works at Game On, and he has an internship at Senator Cronin’s office all while maintaining high grades in honors and AP classes.
In June of 2023, Tyler had the honor of being selected from his class to represent Leominster High School at the Massachusetts Boys’ State where he collaborated with students from all over Massachusetts to run a mock city and state government. Tyler was elected to be on the School Committee and be a State Representative by his city.
Tyler has always had a keen interest in politics as shown by his interview with the Mayor of Fitchburg when Tyler was just 11 years old. During this interview, Tyler told the Mayor that when he grew up he would be the mayor one day too.
When asked what advice he has for students still at Leominster High School, Tyler said, “never care what other people say and make the best of your life in high school because it goes by quickly.”
Tyler will be pursuing his academic career at Saint Anselm College where he will be majoring in International Relations and Political Science.
