St. Joseph Catholic School began the strategic planning process in the fall of 2021 as an opportunity to identify and address the opportunities and challenges that face our school over the next several years.
Through a needs assessment process, our stakeholders were asked for feedback to help us identify our current needs as well as future needs. Once the data was collected and disaggregated, our staff went to work to identify goals and action steps.
The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Education Department identifies five domains for Catholic schools to comply with accreditation. Those Domains are the framework of this Strategic Plan.
Based on the needs assessment data, goals have been identified in each domain area, with identification on persons responsible, resources available or used, timeline, and evidence of success requirements. Funding needs are identified so that they can be properly planned for.
After many revisions in the spring of 2022, our School Board reviewed the document for final approval. Beginning in the 2022-23 school year, we will follow a continuous improvement cycle for school improvement. Formative reviews are built into the strategic plan to allow the administration and stakeholders to track progress throughout the school year.
