Leadership

The Espiritu Santo Student Council meets monthly and is responsible for advising the administration on topics that affect student life. Student Council plans Prayer Services, initiates service projects and sponsors Spirit Rallies. Student Council is comprised of 7 officers and 20 class representatives from grades 4 – 8. Officers are elected each spring, and include the Student Council: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Commissioner of Religion, Commissioner of Ecology, and Commissioner of School Spirit.

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship and character. Students nominated for this leadership position at Espiritu Santo Catholic School must not only be models of these pillars, but receive teacher recommendation, achieve a GPA in the top fifteen percent of their class, and maintain those qualities throughout the duration of their tenure as NJHS representatives.

Students serving on Student Council or NJHS are eligible to be selected as a Student Ambassador. Student Ambassadors are called upon to act as representatives of the school as Tour Guides for prospective families or at Parish events.

Students in grades 5, 6 and 7 are paired up with students in younger grades as “Prayer Partners.” Prayer Partners sit together during weekly liturgy and spend time throughout the year in special activities. It’s hard to say who enjoys being “paired up” more … the younger students (who eagerly look up to their super-cool older mentors), or the older students (who readily embrace the responsibility of acting as role models for their partners). Either way, it’s a special relationship to watch develop and a delight for our school.
