Student Leadership

The treasured Big Brother, Little Brother relationship fosters leadership skills among Regis’ Middle School students. The older boys take responsibility for younger boys at many school functions. Big Brothers lead by example, serving as mentors and modeling expectations of respect and high moral character. Strong bonds between Big and Little Brothers are formed as the relationships build over a four-year period. Students in Pre-K3 are introduced to their Fifth Grade Big Brothers and remain with them throughout the next four years. 

Fourth Grade boys become the leaders of the Lower School, setting an example for all those younger than themselves. These Knights are courteous to all in the Regis community, and they commit to living as scholars and gentlemen for years to come. In the Fourth Grade Knighting Ceremony each fall, boys pledge their fealty to the kingdom of Regis and describe what they do in their personal lives to live out the Five Goals of the Sacred Heart as Regis Knights. 

The House Council is a service and governing student body in the Middle School. The House Council organizes social events and social awareness opportunities, provides leadership at school-wide functions, and addresses topics collectively best to serve the Regis community. The House Council is made up of eight officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Parliamentarian, Historian, Chaplain and Sergeant-at-Arms. Additional leadership positions include Knight Commanders, Assistant Knight Commanders, Representatives, and Members-at-Large.

Regis Middle School has a House system designed to channel boys' energy into constructive outlets where they partake in physical and academic competitions such as relay races, name that tune music competitions, Highland games strength contests, art contests, and more. Through the House system, students learn to take pride in their school and in each other. They share their wide variety of skills and gifts with each other and learn to support their fellow House members as they pursue a common goal. 

Each day, Regis students gather in the Student Life Center for morning prayer and announcements. Throughout the year, eighth grade students take turns leading these daily gatherings. This privilege of facilitating fellowship is anticipated as the boys move into eighth grade and is a significant opportunity for them to grow as leaders of the school. 

Daily, Eighth Grade students assist faculty and staff with morning duties such as carpool and any other special activities that take place before the school day officially begins. 

Throughout the school year, students in Kindergarten through Eighth Grade actively participate in the spiritual life of Regis by leading prayer services and Masses. Through reading Scripture and facilitating prayer, our boys grow in faith and build confidence as they serve their community.

Each day, a different group of Regis Fifth Grade students takes responsibility for raising and lowering the flag on campus and monitoring the flag throughout the day in case of inclement weather. This important daily ritual honors our country and teaches students about the importance of the values that the flag represents. 

Student Ambassadors serve the Regis community by filling leadership roles at various events. For example, students participating in the program provide tours to visiting families during open house functions. They also act as buddies for on-campus visitors who come to spend a day as a Regis student. In addition, these boys act as greeters and hosts for our special guests during many on-campus gatherings. To serve as an ambassador, a student must be in good academic standing and be recommended by a teacher to represent Regis.
