Holy Family Community, Holy Family High School first opened its doors 100 years ago in 1922. Since that time, over 6,000 students have passed through our halls and contributed to the great tradition of our school community.

The people in the building change, the building itself has changed, but our mission remains consistent – Holy Family offers a Catholic learning environment that stresses academic excellence, fosters mutual respect, demands responsibility and encourages self-growth.

Seven years ago, we implemented the Vision 100 strategy document and the Campus Master Plan process. Today we see the fruits of that work.

We have expanded our curricular and extra-curricular offerings and revised our math curriculum and added several STEM electives. Our Chapel was remodeled, a turf sports field was installed, our music department added three new rooms, a new gymnasium was built along with a new fitness center, and we expanded our counseling center and added additional school and college counselors.

Our look ahead builds upon those successes. We are a very good school today, but true institutional greatness comes from a willingness to constantly transform yourself.

In 2019 we retained the Boston-based Catholic educational consulting firm Partners in Mission to assist us with creating Vision 2020 - a strategic plan for Holy Family High School that will guide us into our second century.

While the pandemic paused some of our efforts, the Holy Family Board of Trustees and the Vision 2020 Steering Committee have worked passionately on this strategy. They drew on the perspectives of alumni, parents, faculty, administrators, and staff to articulate goals, objectives and action steps.

The Vision 2020 strategic plan captures the key components of both processes and provides a blueprint for areas of emphasis in the coming five years.

The Vision 2020 Strategic Plan indicates several directions of growth while giving strong emphasis on the investment in people.

While this plan was developed during a pandemic that presented challenges like none other in the school’s history, what emerged speaks clearly to fact that physical changes to a building are not as vital as the quality of people who work within its walls. What is most visible is not always what is most vital.

With the oversight of Partners in Mission, we have chosen to focus on seven areas that will have transformational impact on our students and the overall Holy Family High School experience. This plan will be our roadmap for the next five years and has strategic focus in seven areas:

Academics

Enrollment Management

Advancement

& Marketing

Catholic Identity & Student Life

Finance

Facilities

Governance

Academics STRATEGIC GOAL Holy Family will attract, develop, and retain educators who embody the Catholic worldview and demonstrate mastery of content knowledge, the ability to communicate content in a meaningful and engaging way, and build relationships with students and recognize the unique gifts each brings.

Objectives Attract and retain top Catholic school educators through strategic recruiting channels with competitive compensation structures.

Develop a growth-centered evaluation system including onboarding and support through professional development opportunities.

We Will • Perform salary analysis of Holy Family’s compensation structure as compared to surrounding school districts.

• Bring all faculty to 85% of the average compensation level of the four surrounding school districts by the 2022-23 school year and to 90% by the 2023-24 school year.

• Explore the addition of a merit-based component to Holy Family’s pay scale to complement our purely seniority-based system.

• Identify funding sources (Tuition, Fund for Holy Family, Endowments, etc.) to make salary growth targets feasible and sustainable.

• Analyze the impact that compensation increases will have on tuition increases.

• Develop an administrative liaison program where faculty are assigned an individual administrator as their point of contact for questions/concerns.

• Develop an onboarding process that leverages department chairs, instructional coaches, and the administration to bring new faculty and staff into alignment with the school mission and culture.

• Consider the addition of an administrator to oversee curriculum, instruction, educational technology, onboarding, and professional development.

• Develop an evaluation tool that can be used to give faculty quick insight into how they are progressing in terms of their teaching and their alignment to mission and professional norms.

• Develop a rubric that provides faculty a thorough understanding of Holy Family’s norms of positivity, professionalism, and problem-solving.

• Conduct bi-annual faculty climate surveys to understand and respond to teachers’ needs and concerns.
