Elections
St. Philip the Apostle follows a collaborative model of student government. This means that all members of the student council are equally important and work together by committee to perform their duties. Elections are held in late May and any student in grades 6 or 7 may run. Speeches must be submitted on time for approval. On the assigned day, the students in grades 4 through grade 7 gather in Holy Angel Hall to hear the speeches and then vote. Voting is conducted electronically using Google Forms. Membership is typically between 13 and 15 students.
Any member of the student council who receives a behavior notice or detention must see the principal before they can return to regular meetings. It is at the principal's discretion whether or not the student is suspended or expelled from the student council for behavior, academic, or attendance concerns.
