Youth ministry is an opportunity for students in grades 6-8 to serve on a student council and establish their leadership skills among the student body. The program focuses on service and leadership. Expectations for these leadership positions are high and standards must be met to maintain office. A faculty adviser facilitates and oversees the program.
Youth Ministers are elected by the student body during the spring of the previous year.
Students are expected to act as both a leader and role model in the school at all times.
Must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 at the time of elections and maintain this GPA throughout the length of their service. If a student is unable to maintain the minimum grade point average, they must take a leave until they have brought up their grades.
Candidates must be in good standing behaviorally at the time of elections and maintain satisfactory behavior through the length of their service. Depending on the severity of a behavior problem, an officer may be placed on disciplinary leave or asked to step down.
Youth Ministry responsibilities include planning fundraisers, spirit days, assemblies, service projects, announcements, Masses and other school activities.
Youth ministry officers meet weekly on a designated day at lunchtime.
