Parents' Association

Under the direction of the school’s Principal, The Parents’ Association serves as a liaison between faculty, staff, students, and parents/guardians of the community of Our Lady of Good Counsel High School (OLGCHS). The Parents’ Association seeks to provide support to the OLGCHS community at large in a manner that is in keeping with the Xaverian values of simplicity, humility, compassion, zeal, and trust. The Parents’ Association seeks to develop between educators and the general public such united efforts that will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, social, and spiritual education.

Falcon Moms

The Falcon Moms' mission is to promote fellowship and foster relations between parents of Good Counsel students by offering social activities, sponsoring support and appreciation functions for the school community, and providing service-oriented opportunities which will allow parents to model Christian action and behavior for their children.

GC Moms enjoy connecting with one another and the community each year by hosting many social and service events such as Mothers' Club Night Out, Christmas Boutique, and the Christmas Toy Drive/Decorating. The efforts of the Mothers’ Club result in generous support for the school's greatest needs.

Volunteering at Good Counsel

Protection of the children entrusted to our care is a huge responsibility we take on every day. Unfortunately, the times we live in make clear that threats to safety and security can emerge from anywhere. We are grateful for the many volunteers who help make things run here at school. At the same time, we understand our obligation to have processes in place to screen those who work here and who volunteer for us.

The Volunteers and Fingerprinting Guideline will explain our systematic approach for volunteers. The key concept in determining the need for a volunteer to go through this process is substantial contact with children – i.e. contact with children in which the duration and scope in both time and exposure to children is neither rare nor limited and may occur in a routine and/or ongoing basis. This includes all overnight activities with children and any activities involving time spent alone with children and/or in supervision of children.
