Max Corbett was elected March 24, 2025, to serve as the senior class president. This past year has been extremely busy for the Class of 2026, from a football state championship to prom at a new location. Corbett’s role as president played a major part in helping the year run smoothly.
Corbett was an obvious candidate for a class officer position, given the number of clubs and activities he helps lead, such as Trinity’s Y-Club. As a student government representative for his house, he had always wanted to represent his classmates in a meaningful way. “I’ve loved my time at Trinity and knew I wanted to take the chance to give back to my classmates. I’ve also always had a strong voice and opinion and knew I could use it to represent our senior class.”
The decision to run for president was an easy one for Corbett, despite it being the hardest election for a candidate to win. “I chose to run for president because I believed I was one of the seniors with the most connections and thought I could use that to represent the more than 250 seniors in the Class of 2026.”
Corbett entered the position with optimism about creating a fun senior year. The first major event he and the Class of 2026 officers hosted was Opening Mass in August. Although the event took place in August, planning began shortly after the election. “My favorite moment of this year was Opening Mass. It was a great experience to reveal our class theme in such a personal way, and it was the culmination of many months of hard work for all the class officers.” The hard work paid off, as the event was highly praised by Trinity’s student body and staff.
Opening Mass was not the only success of the year, as nearly every event went as Corbett intended. The senior class motto was “Seize the Moment,” and Corbett is confident they did just that. “I think all five officers did what we promised and worked our hardest. One thing that didn’t come to fruition was a senior movie night. Administration was on board with using the video board for this event, but I didn’t have enough time to plan it. Maybe the next group of class officers can give that a try.” With each class president’s term lasting only one school year, Corbett understood that not every goal can be accomplished.
One of Corbett’s goals was to increase school spirit with large and enthusiastic student sections at events. He believes the Class of 2026 laid the groundwork and is confident the Class of 2027 will keep the energy going and help Trinity continue to thrive. “This junior class has been great with sports attendance, and I hope they can inspire the entire student body to follow their lead next year.”
Corbett looks back on the year with satisfaction and hopes his legacy will continue with the classes that follow. Myles Howze was recently elected as Corbett’s successor, and Corbett had a few words of advice. “Myles — my advice is to not take yourself too seriously. Being class president comes with a lot of responsibility, but remember to enjoy the experiences you’re given and make the most of your senior year.” Corbett offered his support and wished luck to Howze and the Class of 2027 officers.
