Lake Mary Preparatory School encourages organizational development and leadership opportunities by the establishment of separate Student Councils for the Middle School and Upper School through which the students may participate in the formulation of non-academic activities during the school year.

An Executive Council including a senior President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer is elected into office by the Upper School student body. These students work closely with the advisor and serve as a liaison between the administration and student body.

Each Middle and Upper School grade elects two representatives to serve a yearlong term.

The Middle School and Upper School representatives meet separately (and occasionally together) with staff advisors at least twice a month to discuss and plan community service projects, field trips, class parties, dances, and assemblies.

The student council is responsible for the annual Homecoming festivities, the spring Sophomore-Junior-Senior Prom, the annual Trunk-or-Treat Halloween event for the students in the Lower school, and many other events. Student council also plans fundraisers to help offset the cost of student activities.

Members of the Student Council must meet high standards of character and scholastic achievement. The students must have a minimum of a 2.5 grade point average and must have a history of behavioral excellence.
