The concept of the school advisory board is based on a belief in the importance and power of shared leadership. Parents, faculty, administration, and the community work together to provide advice regarding school policies in accordance with the mission of the school and the policies of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
The primary function of the advisory board is to provide advice and assistance to the pastor-principal leadership team.
Advisory board members offer their experience and expertise to strengthen the decision-making process. This assistance is provided through the function of committees. It is through the work of such advisory board committees that recommendations are made, direction is set, and policy is developed.
