The council works as a team planning and organizing fundraisers, activities, and small gatherings throughout the school day for the entire student body to enjoy. In addition, Student Council recognizes students in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade who have shown and displayed a specific virtue throughout each quarter. The purpose of our Student Council is to promote school pride, develop teamwork, demonstrate leadership, and to display a commitment to our school and community.

Mock Trial
As a group, students select a case from the middle school mock trial association. They then dissect the case and divide into a prosecution team and a defense team and select witnesses for the Mock Trial. Students learn to think critically, work together as a team, debate, and present logical arguments within the guidelines of the judicial system. This gives the students a great opportunity to see how a real trial works. Mock Trial culminates in presenting the case at trial in May.
