The purpose of the Council is to assist the Pastor in fulfilling the mission of the Church through the education program of the school.  The council is constituted as a consultative body, which, in fulfilling this mission, is guided by any legal or diocesan directives, or policies that regulate the conduct of Catholic education at the elementary level. The School Council assists the pastor in developing and recommending appropriate policies by which the school's program is designed, implemented and evaluated.  Although the council is not responsible for program implementation, it works closely with the pastor and the principal in the planning and evaluation of the education program for the school.  The council collaborates with all parishes sending children to the school, as well as with other councils and committees within the parish or school.

Each year the National Catholic Educational Association honors the achievements of Catholic elementary school graduates throughout the United States. The NCEA's Distinguished Graduate Award is given in recognition of an alumni member who has made a significant contribution to American society and/or the Catholic Church which reflects favorably on the education that person received at his or her Catholic Elementary School.

An individual that has been cultivated by KNOWLEDGE taken from Catholic schooling.
An individual that has made a commitment to SERVICE of others.
