agree  Mimi7: In U.S. we often use "class president"for jr. high,high school and university level,implying that the person is the leader/representative for others at the same grade level.I'm wondering if the text implies "once again" or "class president once again..."

grade and collegial level president


Explanation:
Ce n'est pas un président de niveau mais bien un président de niveau secondaire et collégial. Il faut remettre le mot président dans son contexte.
