Vision 2020 Strategic Plan In 2019 Holy Family retained Boston-based Catholic educational consulting firm Partners in Mission to assist us in creating Vision 2020 – a strategic plan that will help guide Holy Family as we enter our second century as a Catholic high school. While the pandemic paused some of our efforts, the Holy Family Board of Trustees and the Vision 2020 Steering Committee 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 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 the face that physical changes to a building are not as vital as the quality of people who work within its walls. We have chosen to focus on seven areas that will have transformational impact on our students and the overall Holy Family experience. While we are highlighting those areas of focus and their specific objectives in this article, the full Vision 2020 Strategic Plan can be found on the school’s website, www.holyfamilyhs.com.
ACADEMICS • 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. • Develop and implement courses that meet the needs and interests of a broad range of students. • Support students who may struggle academically or otherwise. • Implement student onboarding strategies that will enable them to successfully navigate the Holy Family curriculum.
CATHOLIC IDENTITY/STUDENT LIFE • Develop an environment that enables students to grow in their personal faith. Encourage a deeper sacramental life by increasing awareness, relevance, and availability of the Sacraments providing opportunities for students to express faith and live the mission. • Strengthen and expand student-led initiatives to address issues of individual dignity, inclusion, and belonging. • Maintain the small school community feeling by fostering stronger faculty/student relationships. • Identify and support students struggling with social and/or mental health issues.
