Our Community
Our SS. Simon & Jude Cathedral School community is active and involved!
On any given day here at our school you will see parents helping in the cafeteria, coaching after school sports, chaperoning a field trip, or preparing for our annual school auction.
Our parents are very giving of their time and provide incredible support on a daily basis to help enrich our students’ experiences. Quite often you will find our parents joining their children at our weekly Mass.
Our school does not mandate service hours, but we do encourage our parents to become involved in some way at our school. The children are pleased to see their parents on campus, and we enjoy their good company and the energy they bring.
There are a variety of ways, both big and small, to become involved.

The SSJ School Board, consisting of 11 lay members, is an advisory group concerned with promoting the objectives of the school philosophy and assisting the administration in providing quality Catholic education to all students.
The School Board helps formulate policies to govern the operation of the school in accordance with those directives already established by the Diocesan School Board.
Prospective candidates for school board positions may be nominated or may nominate themselves; in either case, concerned parents who would like to contribute to the smooth functioning of the school are encouraged to consider running for election. SS. Simon & Jude School parents are eligible to serve on the board.
Parents are also encouraged to volunteer their services with the School Board if they wish to be involved. There are a number of areas in which expertise or experience is needed in order to further the School Board’s efforts and build on the partnership between students, families and parish. Please contact a School Board member or the School Office if you have an interest in any of the following committees or skill areas:
