School Board
The Saint Mary Catholic School Board is a consultative advisory body to the Principal and Pastor operating within its own area of competency in regard to the school. Consisting of 7-9 School and Parish Members, and a number of key leaders from the School community, the Board offers advice on matters relating to finances, physical assets of the school, a vision/strategic plan, marketing/publicity, outreach, and more. The Board follows legislative procedures, with executive positions of President, Vice President and Secretary. We are fortunate to have an involved and caring community and are grateful for all those who serve through the School Board
In the Diocese of Joliet, school boards are consultative in nature, offering valuable input to assist the school's administration. A consultative board participates in the policy-making process by formulating and adopting, but does not enact or enforce policy. Board recommendations are ultimately adopted or declined by the Principal and/or Pastor.
