Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Craig Latimer recognized VoteHillsborough High School Voter Registration Champions at yesterday’s School Board meeting.

The Supervisor of Elections Office holds voter registration drives in high schools every fall and spring semester.

The seven schools recognized for having the most successful voter registration drives this academic year were Brandon High School, Durant High School, East Bay High School, Gaither High School, Jefferson High School, Newsome High School and the Grand Champion — Sumner High School.

This recognition went to those schools in which more than 25% of the senior class population or more than 150 students registered to vote during the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections voter registration drive at their school. Sumner High School, the Grand Champion, had both the highest percentage and the highest total number of registrations, with 321 students registering.
