Principal’s Goals
2007-2008
The
Archdiocese of Chicago has embarked on a long-range strategic
management plan for all its schools. The Plan entitled:
Genesis: A New Beginning for Catholic Schools is designed to
provide a frame work for excellence in the Catholic Schools of the
Archdiocese.
Genesis proposes 18 major goals for the future:
-
Six
goals focus on the Catholic Identity of our schools,
-
Six
goals focus on academic excellence,
-
and the
final six goals focus on school fiscal vitality.
Each of the
Genesis goals is supported by a number of action steps
that will help local schools to achieve the 18 goals. Numerous
committees including teachers, pastors, and principals, along with
the staff of the Office of Catholic Schools, were influential in
developing the Genesis goals
St. Germaine School Goals for 2007-2008 are direct results of
the Genesis process.
