The School Community Council (SCC) serves as an advisory body, chartered to
help support, guide and make recommendations to the educational process and
programs in partnership with our pastor, principal, the administration, faculty,
students, parents and parish members of St. Simon Community. The SCC welcomes ideas, suggestions, and contributions that enhance the educational
process at St. Simon School.
SCC Meetings are open to St. Simon parents and parishioners. The meetings are held monthly during the academic year.
