Earlier this fall, St. Francis Xavier Catholic School launched its new Strategic Plan, which identified objectives for the school over the next three to five years.

Last year, St. Francis Xavier School collected data from school parents and parishioners. Then, individuals from the St. Francis Xavier school, parish, and diocesan communities participated in planning committees in the following focus areas: mission and Catholic identity, governance and leadership, academic excellence, operational vitality, and marketing and development.

Superintendent of Catholic Schools Margaret Dubose facilitated the planning process and worked with St. Francis Xavier Principal Mary Paige Griffin over the summer to complete the plan. 

“Together, we can continue to strengthen St. Francis Xavier Catholic School, ensuring it remains a place where faith, reason, and complete human flourishing are made manifest for many years to come,” wrote Griffin to parishioners in September. “To God be the glory!”

St. Francis Xavier parishioners received a copy of the completed Strategic Plan in the mail at the beginning of October.

Since 1954, St. Francis Xavier has been serving students in PreK through eighth grade. Its classical curriculum fully unites faith and reason, transforming children’s wonder into wisdom through an integrated and joyful approach to learning.
