Student Council
100 student leaders representing all four grade levels. Engaged students sharing great ideas. Enthusiasm at an all-time high.
This is the student council at De Smet Jesuit.
All-school assemblies. Spartanfest. Mission Week. Donut Wednesdays. Blood Drives. Our student council reps plan and lead all of these events and more.
The former student government (STUGO) organization was restructured for the 2019-2020 school year with the goal of involving a higher number of students from all grade levels. The new structure includes a four-member senior executive board, a 14-member student leadership team comprised of seniors, juniors, and sophomores, grade level leadership, and two representatives from every homeroom.
The team leadership approach enables upperclassmen to become mentors and gives everyone the opportunity to develop as leaders, a key characteristic of the Jesuit Profile of the Graduate at Graduation.

I love facilitating discussions between the student body and the faculty. I want to help make De Smet the best place it can be for current and future students.

We know that boys learn and grow together through activity. The student council model has helped us harness school spirit and build brotherhood between classes.

We’ve seen a cultural shift. So many more kids are involved, and because they feel invested in their school, they have a stronger desire to make activities successful.

The best part of being in the leadership group is that I know what is going on throughout the year and I know my voice will be heard.
