Middle School

The Student Council is led by the Executive Council which includes the Student Body President,Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. This group of 8th ​grade students runs all Student Council meetings, oversees the Commissioners, the planning of school activities run by the commissioners and their committee members, and keep track of finances.

There are six Leadership Team Committees, each headed by a commissioner, and all 8th​ grade students have a position on at least one committee. The Religious Affairs committee plans all Masses and religious services like the Living Rosary and Stations of the Cross. The Athletics Committee announces sporting events and runs intramurals each trimester. The School Spirit Committee announces upcoming events, and advertises events by designing posters and even using sidewalk chalk. The School Affairs Committee plans and runs all of the middle school events and facilitates many whole-­school events, such as the Halloween activities and the Middle School Events (Jingle Mingle and March Madness). The Outreach Committee plans and helps with school-­wide service projects and leads our School Families activities. Our Ecology Committee plans Earth Day activities and our compostable, zero trash pizza days!

Classroom Representatives from each grade attend all Student Council meetings and report to the Student Council on the happenings of their classes.

Each eighth grade big buddy and his or her TK little buddy form lasting friendships over the course of the year as they meet to celebrate holidays like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day. The eighth grade and TK Student Council Class Representatives work closely with the Student Council Moderator and TK teacher to design engaging, developmentally appropriate, meaningful activities that promote learning while also encouraging conversations and opportunities for mentorship. In addition to great friendships, eighth graders gain valuable leadership skills and build confidence, manners, and communication skills, while TK students also gain confidence, feel cared for and safe at school, and have a mentor to look up to, helping them to transition smoothly into elementary school.

The eighth grade Leadership Team facilitates the Stations of the Cross, monthly School Families events, TK Buddy activities, all Bake Sales and Holiday Sales, and runs booths at the International Food Faire and Family Mass and Picnic. These students participate in a Student Council Retreat, an eighth grade retreat, and run the eighth grade prayer service and the middle school spiritual pep rally in the spring.
