Mayfield Senior School | Student Leadership & Activities

We capture idealism and enthusiasm while nurturing young women leaders

At Mayfield we want to hear our students’ voices!

Student Council, the Athletic Leadership Council, Diversity Council, Arts Council, Model UN or The Page Turners are just a few of the ways students find opportunities to express themselves and take charge with dignity and respect. A Mayfield student is so much more than her class schedule. She is learning how to grow into a young woman of action, a young woman who expresses herself through her interests and talents and convictions. Our 330 students are involved in more than 40 clubs. Want to do something new? Come up with a good plan that shows your Mayfield vision and we’ll find way to support you!

— Kate Morin, Head of School

I firmly believe that our world needs more women leaders. Girls’ schools provide the best environment for young women to develop and practice leadership skills. Catholic girls’ schools harness the idealism and enthusiasm about social justice issues that motivate young women to make the world a better place.

Arts Council

The Arts Council is a group of student representatives from the Conservatory for the Arts. These student leaders serve as a bridge to the community by representing the voice of the artist. They are responsible for building enthusiasm for the arts among the student body, publicizing arts events, and finding opportunities for service through the arts within and outside of Mayfield Senior School.
Athletic Leadership Council

The Athletic Leadership Council (ALC) is comprised of team representatives from each varsity sport, channeling team pride and team unity organizing special sports-related events and service projects.
California Scholarship Federation

Founded in 1921 to honor students who maintain high standards of academic achievement and citizenship, the California Scholarship Federation sets specific qualifications for membership and is open to students in grades 10, 11 and 12. Enrollment is open to students in grades 10, 11 and 12 who apply for membership during a specified enrollment period at the beginning of each semester, maintain exemplary citizenship and earn sufficient points on the C.S.F. approved course list. Life membership in C.S.F is earned through semester membership four times during the sophomore, junior, and senior years, including membership once during the senior year.

The Campus Ministry Leadership Team is a combination of volunteers and appointed students who work closely with the Director of Campus Ministry. They help to coordinate and orchestrate all Christian Service activities as well as encourage school-wide participation in Campus Ministry activities and programs.

Although the big event is in May, the Prom Committee leaders work year-round meticulously planning the biggest dance of the year. Leaders are elected in spring of their sophomore year to begin coordinating all aspects of the prom for the following year.

Students from each grade level are encouraged to apply to be leaders for the class retreat. The retreat leaders are given the opportunity to help plan the retreat as well as act as small group leaders during the retreats.

Service is what distinguishes our clubs and our leadership. At Mayfield, service it not something you just perform to fulfill a requirement. It’s at the heart of everything we do at the school. The girls are constantly looking for opportunities to help others.
