The SBS Student Council provides leadership and service to the St. Bernard of Clairvaux Catholic School community. The mission of this organization is to promote good citizenship, to develop Christian leaders, to encourage a high standard of scholarship, to arouse school spirit, to demonstrate the practical application of democracy and to advance the welfare of the school and its members in every possible manner.
Student Council members are very involved in service projects, both individually and as a group. There are projects steeped in SBS tradition which the Student Council oversees, school-wide food drives for St. Vincent de Paul Society and Catholic Charities of Dallas, and Catholic Schools Week.
The Student Council plans, fundraises, and provides leadership and manpower for these projects and others. These projects provide community support, community building, as well as generate significant proceeds. The funds raised from the projects go to assist in the cost of many student activities and other campus improvement projects
Student Council officers are elected by the student body each fall. Officers include the following: president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer.
