Our School Board
Vision
As members of St. Patrick’s School Board, our vision is an extension of the diocese’s vision in that we are one body that is faith driven in providing the school with leadership, mentorship, and recommendations that enhance the quality of growth of our school.
Who We Are
St. Pat’s school board is intended to represent the community, consisting of a collection of parents, alumni/parents of alums, leaders within the communities, and parishioners.

Details of the board’s responsibilities are as follows:

Formulating Policies
Formulation of school policies, other than policies already held in reserved powers, which are intended to guide planning and administration in the areas of Academic, Student, Faith Community, Business and Development Affairs.
Evaluation
Evaluation of effectiveness of local school policies and plans, mission effectiveness, effectiveness of Board operations, and the principal under the direction of the Pastor according to the process established by the Superintendent of School.
Financial Operations
St. Pat’s has a stand-alone Finance Council who helps ensure accountability for and responsibility regarding contributions of the community while providing trust and credibility with the parishioners and community. Through strong partnership, the school board consults with the Finance Council, Principal, and Pastor to ensure overall alignment regarding the school’s business and financial affairs. This collaborative effort includes board approval of recommendations provided by the Finance Council.
