The South Plains College Student Government Association has always kept the students as their main priority. No one is more committed to this goal than new SGA president Shae Reid.

Reid uses her bubbly personality and enthusiasm for the college and the community to bring together SGA members and all students. She has a lot plans for this coming year, with goals to incorporate the community in many of the college’s activities.

“I’m excited,” said Reid. “We are going to have a lot of fun.”

Reid is 19 years old and currently lives in Levelland.  She is originally from Brownfield, and graduated from Brownfield High School in 2006. This is her second semester in SGA and she ran for president last spring.

She used her people skills, along with her and knowledge of SPC and the SGA, to become elected. Her campaign had a Myspace theme and included posters and free candy.  She was required to get 100 signatures from students as well.  She then had to be elected into office by her fellow students.

“I wanted to have an active roll in the school, and I wanted to be able to participate more with the community and school,” said Reid.
