Comprising parents, faculty, and parish members, the Commission focuses on policy development, financial planning, and long-term projects such as the capital campaign. They are instrumental in ensuring the school meets its goals and remains aligned with its mission.
- Members of the School Commission take on specific roles and responsibilities, including finance, policy, and marketing, to address the diverse needs of the school. They also serve as liaisons between the parent community and school leadership, helping to address concerns and maintain open lines of communication.
