“The strategic planning process has been vital to the ongoing stability and success of our great school. Over the years, the process has taken different forms. After several years of focusing on individual goals which resulted in monumental improvements to campus and programming, I am pleased to see us return to a plan with a longer and more comprehensive view of our future goals. I commend the Board and the Vestry for their hard work and vision. Clearly, our leaders are in tune with where we are and where we need to go. I look forward to working with my faculty, administration and school leaders to address all of the goals in this latest plan. An interesting development regarding Strategic Planning. In reviewing the report from this year’s FCIS Accreditation Team, we found of the five major recommendations included in the report, three apply directly to Strategic Planning goals our school leaders have identified and prioritized. This is valuable affirmation from an outside agency that we are steering the right course for our school.” ~ Scott Laird, Former Headmaster
