The Student Government or Student Council is an organization based on a simple constitution and by-laws. The Student Council is moderated by a faculty member. Volunteer teachers act as Advisors to the Student Council Commissioners. The Student Council at Our Lady of Loretto has its MEMBERSHIP in “The Association of Catholic Student Councils” which is renewed annually. Such an Organization can be an effective means of developing leadership, a sense of responsibility, and good citizenship among pupils. The school requires that all class leaders, major committee members, and Student Council officers attend the Leadership Camp during the summer.

The STUDENT COUNCIL is the soul of the school. All the students who become members of the Student Council share their leadership uniquely in many ways. They grow in responsibility and face countless opportunities to develop their social and intellectual skills. Student Council Commissioners sponsor a variety of activities throughout the year such as Scholastic activities, School Spirit activities, Religious activities, and Fundraising activities, which carry out with a unique pride.

Students wishing to run for a position in the Student Council must meet the required qualifications. The positions are open to students in grades 4-8. Students Council is one of the most important extracurricular activities within the school because it cultivates growth in leadership and offers the opportunity to develop a good sense of a democratic posture in our society.

While the Student Council provides services to the school, church, and community, it also develops responsibility in carrying the duties the student undertakes when elected to the Student Government.

Student Council Members while in office are to maintain a GPA of 3.0 in the core subject matters such as in Religion, Math, Reading and Language Arts. Any Student Council Member engaged in any serious disciplinary action, is subject to prompt removal.
