The Catholic Schools Commission
The Catholic Schools Commission will work closely with the Superintendent of Schools and the Diocesan School Board to create a three-year strategic plan for the Office of Catholic Schools - to ensure our diocesan school system is operating as a proactive, mission-driven model that ensures long-term viability, spiritual vitality, and academic excellence.
In an era of changing demographics and financial pressures, such a plan will serve as a "living roadmap" to align resources with our core values.
The commission will use the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools as the framework for the planning and sub-committee organization.
Strategic Focus Areas
To achieve our mission, the Commission operates through four specialized sub-committees, each focused on a critical pillar of our strategic planning.
