​ "The purpose of the Student Council shall be to represent the views of the student body, to provide service and activities for the school and community, and to provide leadership training and experience for its student members."

​St. Mary's Student Council is comprised of student Officers in grades 6-8 and Class
Representatives in grades 1-8. In mid-October, students interested in running for either an office or class representative receive parental permission, gather 25 signatures from their peers and submit them to the Adviser. The Officer candidates prepare and give a speech to the entire student body, explaining why they would be the best candidate for the job. Class representatives are elected by their classmates.
