Eagles’ Nest
COVER STORY
From The President My friend, Juan, is a trapeze artist and Juan taught me that you could not swing from one bar to another without letting go. As obvious as that may seem, we sometimes struggle with doing that in life. Over these next few months, the faculty, staff and extended leadership of St. Thomas will be crafting a Strategic Plan for the next five years. Our last Strategic Plan oversaw the acquisition of the Joplin campus and this plan will envision the preeminent way to teach goodness, discipline and knowledge with expanded, up-to-date resources. Our goal is to have the Strategic Plan finalized and publicized by this fall. Rest assured that some elements of our plan will sound familiar – we could never exist without developing teachers who are passionate about their students, subject material and faith! But other elements of our Strategic Plan will be spanking new – how about the first week of school being experienced outdoors, an hour north of Houston! Please pray that the Holy Spirit continue to guide us as we embolden the class of 2018 and reach out to inspire the class of 2022. Happy New Year! Fr. Kevin Storey, CSB President
