St. Bernard’s boys are given many opportunities to lead. As early as Middle School, boys may be voted as captains of their intramural teams or as representatives to Student Council, which meets with the head of school every other week. School clubs, such as the Environment Club, the Math Club, and the Robotics Club, give the boys a chance to actively pursue a subject they care about. They organize drives and help educate their fellow classmates about particular issues. St. Bernard’s seventh and eighth graders participate in Model Congress each spring. All eighth graders participate in St. Bernard’s Debating Society, and each year they elect presiding officers from their class.
