Leadership

An important goal at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School is the development of leadership skills in our students. Our small community provides many opportunities not only to learn leadership skills but to put them into action. Students are encouraged to participate in Student Government by running for a class representative position (all four years) or for an office (upper class students).

Students also take leadership roles by being elected as captains for athletic teams, being members and/or an officer in the National Honor Society, being appointed to the Principal’s Advisory Board, or volunteering to be part of Campus Ministry. In all instances, students are taught leadership skills of cooperation, time management, and group dynamics so that they can develop the skills, integrity, and confidence necessary to take on leadership positions beyond their school experience.
