Leadership in Action at St. Joseph of Cupertino School

At St. Joseph of Cupertino School, leadership is something our students live, not just learn about.
Our Student Council gives middle school students the opportunity to serve their peers, strengthen our community, and grow as confident Catholic leaders.

Student Council members are elected by their classmates and take on real responsibilities that help shape student life on campus. Guided by faculty moderators, they work together to listen to student voices, plan activities, and model respect, kindness, and integrity for our entire Jaguar family.

​

​What Student Council Does

​Student Council plays an active role in building school spirit and supporting our mission through:

• Organizing spirit days and themed dress days

• Leading school assemblies and prayer services

• Planning community-building activities and lunchtime events

• Supporting Catholic Schools Week celebrations

• Coordinating service projects and charitable drives

• Welcoming new students and assisting at school events

• Partnering with administration to share student ideas and feedback

Through these experiences, students learn communication, teamwork, responsibility, and servant leadership — skills that prepare them for high school and beyond.

​

​Faith-Centered Leadership

​

​At SJC, leadership begins with service.
Student Council members are called to lead like Christ: with humility, compassion, and a willingness to put others first.

They help foster a campus culture where every student feels known, included, and valued — a hallmark of the St. Joseph of Cupertino community.

​
