Nick Paesler is a senior at Cleveland High School who has attended classes in Portland Public Schools since third grade.

Nick has been heavily involved in leadership and student council at Cleveland for the past three years. As Class of 2019 president, he built his leadership skills through planning events and major fundraisers. During his sophomore year, he was introduced to the PPS Student Council and has been at the district ever since. Nick was one of the original design team members of Oregon Student Voice, a non-profit organization that works with schools across the state to improve the quality of education. He believes being involved at the school and district level is the best way to meet as many new students as possible and work toward a better school experience for all PPS students. In his sporadic free time, Nick enjoys fixing and driving his 46-year-old Land Rover and driving his friends around Portland and Seaside.
