Blue Jays of all grade levels exercised their right to vote by casting their ballots in the 2016-2017 Student Council Executive Board election. Following Tuesday’s election speeches, which ranged from heartfelt to humorous, Blue Jays took to the polls to elect four officers to next school year’s E-Board.

Grade Level Officers

The Student Council is composed of representatives from all grade levels. Its purposes are:

1. To serve as a unifying agency in support of all school activities
2. To foster in the students the ideals of Jesuit High School and to inspire the highest type of school spirit
3. To provide a means of creating better fellowship and understanding between faculty and students and among the students themselves
4. To provide a greater opportunity for self-government and experience in democratic practices by affording a realistic representation of the views of the student body
5. To develop in its members the ideals and practice of Christian leadership
