Student Council

St. James Regional's Student Council trains future community leaders!  Student Council allows participants to develop leadership skills, the chance to plan and implement service and charity events, and plan fun events and activities for their peers.  While COVID-19 has altered this year's plans, examples of past activies that Student Council planned were the Monster Mash Halloween party for grades K-4, the Halloween Dance for grades 5-8, and other student dances throughout the year.  Our Student Council raises money and awareness for various charities through dress down days in which all money collected goes towards a charity, hosts a Thanksgiving Food Drive, helps the St. James High School Alumni Association with their turkey and toy drives, and plans a  Rock Your Socks for Down Syndrome day in March.  Student Council members also serve as ambassadors for St. James Regional by helping with school Open Houses and providing tours for prospective students. 

Student Council is open to students in grades 5 through 8. The Student Council board is made up of 8th graders who hold the positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Classroom Representative. Each classroom in grades 5th through 7th also elects a representative. Elections are held in the beginning of the school year. To run for these positions, students must have clean discipline record and maintain a GPA of an 88 and above in all subject areas. The board meets monthly.
