Religious Life
As a Xaverian Brothers sponsored school, Good Counsel has an active campus ministry. Students are all required to take 4 years of religious studies classes, as well as participate in religious retreats (which focus on all sorts of issues – spiritual and secular). Masses are held on major religious holidays, with students taking part as altar servers or readers, and with the school's major choir (as well as faculty and staff) providing accompaniment.
All students are required to complete a certain number of community service hours each year, for a total of 100 hours upon graduation.
