There are two things you have to get across in a campaign. There's the prevailing issues, whatever they happen to be at the time, for one. But the second is, possibly, more important. That is convincing people of your commitment. Get that bit right and your slogan could be almost anything.
Could your name replace the word FREEDOM, perhaps, in the dominant phrase in the source video cited below?

I don't know whether it is just a 'catchy slogan' you want or a display of intelligence to allow people to get behind you.
If you wish to display a level of understanding and intelligence maybe:
"Believe and Succeed" is a good display of words (rather than a slogan as such) or maybe too deep?
This display will enable you to get at the heart string by expressing a will to understand and to motivate fellow pupils. It just depends how serious you are and how much you want to be in a positive position to influence and inspire. At the end of the day, it's about having Courage.
It can be very difficult to have courage or confidence and if you make it clear that Courage is not about 'roaring' or being 'aggressive', but about simply wanting to try again tomorrow, your message will be clear and personal.
Whatever you chose, it needs to be an area that you hold close to your heart because you wil need to be the advisor and the manager if you should win this election. You also will have to be able to communicate with others.
I suppose its about 'wanting' to understand the barriers that makes one fellow classmate do well and another do not so well.
Ask yourself what your objective is. What areas do you wish to address with your fellow pupils. How serious are you or do you just want to be known as 'having a title'?
I am sure this means a lot to you or you would not have asked the question.
Good Luck!

Really hard to give any kind of slogan with out knowing if your school is into academics or sports or??
How about picking the most popular subject in school, become informed to the highest degree and start using it as a catalyst for your election campaign.
Also, to be a true candidate you will have to appear to like or be involved in subjects that you never cared for. For example; if baseball has never been something you were very interested in, you should get informed and become conversational in how they pick the team, or what some of the players think of different umpires, the coach, the equipment. I'm sure you get the picture.
As for the slogan which, like I said, is difficult to come up with.
Try something all encompassing with hot buzz words and keep it positive. Here's a few lame examples: "Blank High Rocks the Boat" "Overall Best--- Blank High".
Good Luck

Why not " Our right to be heard and entrusted with things that affect our education in this the year 2007" - plane and simple but if you could get your head together you could just make the right impact on your fellow students.....good luck and well done for being interested in your school.

SLOGAN: "Don't be afraid to vote for me-- It's a school election! It doesn't really matter!"

i think you should go around giving people lollipops, they're like 10p each, or buy a bag full of lollipops, kids like that (did it in my school when i was campaigning to become head girl, it worked for me!). me and a few of my mates went around with lollipops and the slogan we used at the time was something like: the voice of the students.

some of the "advice" is maybe over the top for a school election lol...
if long as you make it clear that u want to win, and well... you know and like most of your year, then you'll probably win.

Well,You could tell them that you are there to listen to the them and to let them voice their ideas etc., and that you will try your best to make futuristic changes in the way the programs are being ran,and to prevent historic incidents in regarding voting ,not to mention changes in the way the school system is being ran in regards of guidance counselors not regularly visiting and periodically visiting the classrooms giving class lectures to students by only sitting in their office and waiting for the students to come to them after they have already gotten into trouble, not to mention having an out reach program designed for students in our schools that helps them deal with peer pressure ......and by having special classes designed for students that have used drugs and that have turned to drugs.................Another program that needs be designed through our school systems would be a birthcontrol prevention
program designed for students with only a signed written statement from their parents stating that they have their approval to get means of protection from their school clinic regarding birth control means ..............This is not to mention changes in the way the schools need to have actual movie footage of the causes and effects of drugs and alcohol that shows actual footage of before and after incidents because of drugs that are to be shown by the local police enforcement of course though they would all have to have parental consent first before they are able to watch the footage!!!!!!!!!!!!!

prey on their political practices.
remind them that at 17yrs. and 10 months they are - or should- register to vote in local, state and federal elections. Also "PEOPLE DIED FOR YOU TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE OR SAY WHAT YOU WILL-so far as Not to entice rioting-WITHOUT FEAR OF RETALIATION"! ! !
#1)Put down you dope. get out and vote!
#2) Vote for________ , dammit !
