Student Council

Student Council 

Our Student Council is a group of nominated, elected, and volunteer students working together with an adult advisor within the framework of a constitution or bylaws to provide a means for student expression and assistance in school affairs and activities, give opportunities for student experience in leadership and encourage student/faculty/community relations.

Through projects and activities, student councils work to:

• PROMOTE CITIZENSHIP
• PROMOTE EXCELLENCE
• PROMOTE SERVANT LEADERSHIP
• PROMOTE SCHOOL SPIRIT​
• PROMOTE CATHOLIC & TRADITIONS VALUES

​Our student council is a group of student leaders who work with an adult advisor to collaborate with others to impact our school community, which impacts our City of Paramount, which impacts our state, which impacts our country, which changes the world. They are our future leaders!!
