Meet Hal Zeitlin. He’s a junior at Winston Churchill in Montgomery County, and he’s got the kind of resume that makes Georgetown look like a safety school: Student body VP, tutor, active in mock trial and the anti-bullying committee, lobbyist to the school board, a wholesome haircut. Zeitlin is challenging incumbent Alan Xie to be Student Member Of the Board — or “SMOB.”
In Montgomery County, like many jurisdictions, the SMOB brings a student voice to school board meetings. Xie, a junior enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program at Richard Montgomery High School, was originally facing three contenders, but now it’s down to just him and Zeitlin.
