HOW TO GET INVOLVED:

Old St. Mary’s School embarked on a strategic planning process in 2018 and implemented its plan around four pillars: Catholic Identify, Academic Excellence, Governance & Leadership, and Financial Vitality.  Four Task Teams were created in the 2019-20 Academic year and parents were invited to join those task teams.  Below is additional information about some of the work being done around each of these areas and information on how you can become involved.  Further below are additional opportunities for parents to become involved in the broader church community.
