Election Process at a Glance
Each spring, our middle school students embark on a purposeful journey to join the Student Council by completing an application, submitting a by-law agreement and filing fee, and creating a short campaign with limited, student-made posters. To uphold fairness, candidates avoid media campaigning or handing out gifts, focusing instead on presenting their ideas through prepared speeches. On Election Day, students cast their votes-often online-and results are announced soon after, marking the start of a new chapter in student leadership.
Available Positions & Requirements
Our Student Council offers 13 different positions for middle school students, ranging from top leadership roles to specialized commissioner and support roles. Collectively, these student leaders organize fundraisers, manage communications, promote school spirit, oversee safety and ecology initiatives, and encourage faith-filled campus life. Through these varied responsibilities, they develop essential skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and service-ensuring our community thrives under their thoughtful leadership.
Join us and take this chance to build lasting friendships, strengthen your faith, and grow as a leader! For more information, visit the Student Council Google Classroom or contact Mrs. Brown.
