and budgeting, and responsible facilities growth and management.

Mission:

To build a stronger network of community support by fostering opportunities for parents, parishioners, alumni, and local community members to interact with the school. A more engaged, robust, inclusive, and diverse community of school supporters will enhance the school’s mission to provide a faith-based and holistic education of the child. All members of the school community are encouragers to be engaged in the advancement of the school’s mission and institutional life.

Recommended Actions:

• Continue to build family-oriented, faith-based community through strengthening the Home-School Association, the Pastor-Principal Advisory Board, and the relationships with our parishes and community. 
• Engender a school culture that is characterized by fluid and consistent communication between school leadership and faculty and current and prospective parents and stakeholders. Make communications transparent (including by publishing PPAB minutes on school website). Make communications easily accessible (and potentially searchable).
• Broaden and invigorate the St. Peter School community to be more inclusive through Home-School Association initiatives. As key stakeholders, parents should be given opportunities to partner, socialize, communicate, and provide feedback.
• Create and fortify an alumni network dedicated to the long-term sustainability of the school.
• Strengthen parish relationships through a focus on communication, balanced partnership, and fostering a sense of pride through participation.
• Optimize our unique and historic location to deepen the value of a St. Peter School education.
