The Jefferson Awards Students in Action Team promotes, tracks and honors students who have done service to the larger community. As a Jefferson Awards School, Carondelet is in association with many other schools. These schools compete in fulfilling the seven goals prescribed by the Jefferson Awards Foundation. Student Leaders attend a leadership workshop in the fall and spring of each year. At the spring workshop the winner of the Jefferson Awards Outstanding School in the region is announced. That school then is invited to attend the ceremony in Washington D.C. with schools in various regions where a competition is held to determine the school that will receive the honor of being the winner of the National Jefferson Awards Students in Action School of Distinction.
