High School Student Council

The SJCS Mission Statement entails the creation of “a joyful Catholic school culture” that will “nurture each student’s awareness of his or her unique God-given vocation and foster his or her desire to live-out that call.” For some students, this call entails a desire to be a “servant-leader” among their peers, putting their time and gifts at the service of the student body. High school student council is a group of student servant-leaders, both elected and appointed, that works to create the joyful environment prescribed by our mission statement.

The chief responsibilities of student council are:

• Planning and executing the annual “Spirit Week” to benefit a local charitable organization and build school spirit among the students
• Planning and running all high school dances (the Welcome Back Dance in the late summer, Homecoming in the fall, MORP in the winter, and Prom in the spring)
• Representing the concerns and needs of the student body before the administration of the school

Senior Senate is a group of seniors chosen through application and interview to lead the senior class.  They are responsible for coordinating fundraisers, organizing social events, planning the senior mission trip, and choosing the class gift.  Most importantly, they serve as a liaison between the senior class and the school administration.
