Learners from different grade levels actively participated by asking questions regarding the candidates' proposed programs, leadership plans, and commitments to the student body. This activity allowed voters to make informed decisions based on the candidates' qualifications, vision, and readiness to serve.

The much-awaited Election Day took place on July 12, 2026, where students from the eligible grade levels cast their votes through a fair, orderly, and transparent electoral process. The activity reflected the importance of honesty, integrity, and respect for the democratic process.

The election concluded on July 13, 2026, with the Proclamation of Winners followed by the Oath-Taking Ceremony, where the newly elected SSC officers formally accepted their responsibilities as the student leaders for School Year 2026–2027.

The newly elected officers are:

Public Relations Officer (P.R.O.): Navjot Singh (ASCEND)

The school extends its heartfelt congratulations to all the newly elected SSC officers and expresses its appreciation to every candidate from both the ASCEND and ROYALE parties for their courage, dedication, and willingness to serve. Regardless of the election results, each candidate demonstrated exemplary leadership and inspired fellow Thomasians to participate actively in student governance.
May the newly elected Student Supreme Council officers lead with integrity, humility, and a genuine commitment to serving the Thomasian community as they continue to uphold the school's mission of forming competent, compassionate, and values-driven future leaders.
