It is Archdiocesan policy that every school have a school board, regardless of its model of governance. School boards are diverse and seek to reflect the student population, include community representation, and have persons with expertise related to school needs. In addition to the Chair and voting members of the Board, the school’s Principal is an ex-officio (non-voting) member of the Board. Questions regarding School Board operation and functions may be directed to any Board member or to Dr. Baker.
