Student Council members have the opportunity to make changes in their school for the good. This is your chance to make your concerns and preferences known to the student body and administration of St. Mary's School through the democratic process. It is a rewarding experience to step up and walk the walk in the eyes of God as a Student Council Member. Serving as the example for kids to follow as you represent your school with pride and dignity is a rewarding experience. The Student Council takes on the responsibility of representing the whole student body and addressing their needs, wants, and concerns to the administration of our school. Several privileges of the Student Council are encouraging school spirit at Student Council events such as Octoberfest, Jesse Tree, Morning Prayer, and the Living Way of the Cross.
