Developing responsible Catholic Christian leadership qualities in a student is an important focus at SJS. The Student Council, in conjunction with its moderator, plans its activities throughout the school year. Student Council members ordinarily meet once a week after school on Monday until 4:20 pm. Members may not miss more than 2 meetings during the year. Applicants for participation in Student Council must have qualifying grades in effort and behavior. A student may be removed from Student Council participation at any time if his/her behavior falls below the above identified levels. Council members who are suspended from Council membership due to disqualifying behavior and/or effort may not attend meetings or work on Council projects.

Students in grades 5, 6 & 7 may run for Student Council offices. Students in grades 4-7 may vote. There is a MANDATORY campaign meeting in May; students will be turned away if they do not attend the meeting. There are 2 campaign weeks: 1 for officers and one for commissioners. Most activities occur in May.

Students will serve volunteer hours performing a variety of school and community services. Examples of their service include the Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances, the spiritual social, pep rallies and Tuesday's Donut Day.
