In a spirited display of leadership and dedication, the two competing party lists vying for SSG positions at Golden West College’s Senior High School took center stage during the Final Campaign Rally held on September 19, 2025 at 8:00 am in the GWC AVR.

Each party presented their unique vision, courage, and commitment to student service. The program featured self-introductions, short entertaining performances, and a compelling Question-and-Answer segment that tested the candidates' readiness and depth of understanding regarding student issues.

A highlight of the program was the question-and-answer segment, which featured inquiries from students as well as esteemed teachers from the Senior High School faculty. This interactive portion gave candidates the opportunity to address important concerns and demonstrate their readiness to serve.

As part of the program, former SSG officers were awarded certificates of appreciation in recognition of their dedicated service to the student community. The event concluded with final messages from each party's presidential candidate, further inspiring their fellow students and reinforcing their passion for leadership.

With both party lists showing strong potential, the rally served as a powerful reminder of the importance of student voice and active participation in shaping the school community.
