The honor and responsibility of representing the student body.

St. Bridget's Student Council is a group of student leaders who work together, under the direction of the advisor, to plan activities that benefit the student body and take part in the decision-making process, when appropriate. Elections for the eight Executive Board positions take place in the spring of each year, and officers are elected from among the 7th and 8th grade students. The voting body consists of students in grades 4-7. Students in grades 4-8 are also elected by their peers to serve as classroom representatives. It is the responsibility of the classroom representative to attend monthly meetings of the Student Council and report information back to his/her homeroom. Classroom representatives (and alternates) are selected at the beginning of each school year.
