Partnering For Our Future
The Advisory Council works with the Pastor and Principal to guide the long-term vision and strategic growth of St. Joseph Catholic School, rooted in our Catholic identity and aligned with the mission of St. Joseph Catholic Church.
What We Do
The Advisory Council serves in a consultative role, offering strategic guidance and faith-centered support to the Pastor and Principal. Its purpose is defined in the St. Joseph Catholic School Advisory Council Operating Procedures.
With input from the Pastor and Principal, the Council develops and maintains the school’s 5-Year Strategic Plan, ensuring the future growth is mission-driven, aligned with the needs of the parish, and integrated into an interoperable Church and School campus.
The Council may also advise on:
Strategic planning and long-term goals
Campus facilities and future development
Special initiatives requested by school leadership
Please note: While the Council advises on a wide range of topics, final authority on all policies rest with the Pastor. The Council does not oversee the daily operations of the chool or establish policy implementation procedures. These responsibilities remain with the Pastor and Principal and are outlined in the School Handbook
