Our vision for the future
Paramount to any strategic plan is making plans now to ensure success in the many years ahead. We are committed to ensuring that St. Mary’s remains a great school for decades to come. To do this, our strategic plan was created to serve as a guidepost for all that we aspire to achieve. We're proud that many of the initiatives included are already underway and/or completed. Numerous tasks or goals in this plan include no financial cost, just an allocation of time, resources, and energy from responsible parties. The initiatives that do have a financial element to them are an investment in what we believe to be the true difference makers in a St. Mary’s education: people and programs.
Focus Areas Include:
- Student Programs
- Advancement
- Faculty and Staff
- Board of Trustees
tomorrow starts today
In October 2021, our Board of Trustees and senior administrative team embarked on a Strategic Planning and Strategic Financial Planning exercise, working side-by-side the global private independent school management-support firm, Independent School Management (ISM). This process took place over several days and included a detailed analysis of constituent surveys, research and discussions related to current trends and best practices, and opportunities for school leaders to both reflect and dream about possibilities and opportunities. The goal of a well-coordinated strategic plan and the heart of the work our superb Board of Trustees are tasked with truly go hand in hand.
