Student Leadership Nominations

Catholic Hoos

Student Leadership Model
Ministry Council

The ministry council exists to serve as the voice of the student body to the staff and as the primary ambassadors of Catholic Hoos to our community. To live out this role faithfully, council members receive spiritual and leadership formation, lead by oversight of a committee, and intentionally pray for the ministry, helping to shepherd the work of Catholic Hoos as stewards of our mission and vision.
