The mission of the School Council of Our Lady of Perpetual Help School is to promote a Catholic School system with an excellent academic program founded on Christian virtues, directing students towards a conscious choice of living a responsible Catholic life.

Six to ten members selected through a discernment process comprise the voting members of the School Council (consensus is generally used). The Pastor, Principal, CDC Director, and the PTC liaison are ex-officio and non-voting members of the Council. The Council, whose authority is derived from the Pastor, is called into being by the Pastor and given its mission to advise the Principal, CDC Director, and Pastor in areas of finances, school enhancement, policy, development, and strategic planning. The Council acts in support of administrative decisions and actions that are taken by the Principal and CDC Director that implement previously established school policy. The Pastor retains the canonical responsibility of leadership in the parish, school, and CDC.

The School Council generally meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the school cafeteria. Parents are invited to observe regular Council meetings. Participation, however, is limited to the "Open Forum" which is described in more detail below.

All meetings of the Council, both regular and special are open to the public unless it is necessary to go into executive session for discussion, deliberation, or vote. If any person other than a member of the Council wishes to bring a matter before the Council, that person must submit, in writing to the President, a clear and concise summary of the matter that is to be considered seven days prior to the meeting. The Council will act on matters relating to policy. The council does not act as a grievance committee.
