In the spring, students in 4th through 7th grades elect students from next year's 5th through 8th grades as "Commissioners" to serve on a student board. The purpose of the council is to train students in leadership, to encourage a high standard of scholarship, to arouse school spirit, to demonstrate the practical application of democracy, and to advance the welfare of the school and its members. 

 

The following rules apply to those students who wish to run for election to the student council:​

• Students must have at least a "B" average in conduct and effort

• Students who run for the offices of President and Vice-President must have at least a "B" average in academics with no grade below a "C" anywhere on the report card

• All other candidates for the various offices must have at least a "C" average in academics with no grade lower than a C-

 

Student Council members organize many activities and events throughout the school year that foster unity, charity, and spirit among our student body, including the weekly assemblies, the Penny War, Catholic Schools Week, the Talent Show and Movie Night. The Ecology Commissioner is also responsible for Walk-to-school days and recycling for all grades.

 

Student government can be an effective means of developing leadership, a sense of responsibility, and good citizenship among students.

 

The goals of student government are to:​

• ​Represent the student body and provide leadership and governing opportunities

• Encourage all students to become active members of the entire school community

• Enable students to plan and sponsor events and activities
