Education Commission

DateThursday, November 19, 2009 at 03:12PM

Since 1902 Catholic education has been a vital tradition in the ministry of St. Benedict Parish. The Schools of St. Benedict prepare young people from preschool through high school for life long learning through academic excellence based on individual needs and talents, spiritual formation, personal growth, and a commitment too multicultural community life and Christian stewardship.

The two school boards of the Schools of St. Benedict (Elementary and High School Boards) form the foundation of the Education Commission. The role of these boards is to advise the principals, preschool director and pastor on issues ranging from academic to financial. The boards have parents of students as well as parishioners at large. Selection of board members is done in the spring of each year.

The Education commission meets three times a year in conjunction with the Catechetical Commission. Their goal is to moderate and plan for the overall educational (academic and religious) of the parish. Also part of the Education Commission are:

  • Athletic Association of St. Benedict (AASB) - with the Athletic Director coordinates and oversees all student athletic programs of the parish.
  • Development Department – raises funds and cultivates financial support for all the schools
  • Home and School Association - with the collaboration of the principal of the Elementary & Middle schools and director of the preschool assists with volunteer needs, candy sales, parties, projects and special needs.
