School Ambitions

The This is Our House Strategic Plan used the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools along with the results of our last accreditation visit to generate action items to guide the school for the next three years. The School Ambitions section action items were formulated from conversation that took place with multiple stakeholders throughout the planning process.

Action Plan 1: Initiate a study to explore the effectiveness of the school’s daily and yearly schedule in collaboration with all school stakeholders and working with Stanford University’s Challenge Success Program. Particular focus will be placed on student and adult wellness and the appropriateness/value of graduation requirements (2022-2024).

Action Plan 2: Research, envision and establish a Cathedral Catholic Center for Cultural Engagement to work with school departments, student organizations and school families to educate about school diversity, celebrate the school’s diversity and explore ways to foster a more welcoming and inclusive school environment (2022-2023).

Action Plan 3: Launch a feasibility study exploring the possibility of a school vocational and trade school program (2022-2023).
