The Student Council governs the Student Government, which consists of the Batch
Councils, Class Councils, and the Club Association. It shall embody, represent, and
promote the ideals, welfare, interests, and the empowerment of the PSHS–MC student
body.

High School–Main Campus ordained and promulgated by the students of PSHS–MC.
As per Article 3, Section 3 of the Student Body Constitution, the SC should consist of a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, an Auditor, a Business Manager, and a Club Coordinating Head.

Furthermore, the SC should also establish ad-hoc committees such as: Kandili, Solace, and Bahaghari, to assist them in protecting the welfare of the student body, as well as its other constituents, in the school.
