Being student body president alone won’t provide a huge bump because at many high schools the position is a popularity contest without a lot of responsibility. But, if you are able to show significant impact/results in that position, then that can help. The impact/results could be many different kinds of things: Having an active role on the school board, leading an effort to make a curriculum change, working to ensure that students with housing insecurity have resources available to them…it could mean so many different things depending on what is relevant to you and your school. There are also some schools where the role does have a lot of fiscal and organizational responsibility, too. Make sure that the important part of what you are doing isn’t the title but all of the time and effort you are investing after the election.
