nEXT OPEN SCHOOL COMMISSION MEETING – APRIL 16TH, 6PM
School Commission Application – Due April 30th
The School Commission is seeking new members for the 2026-27 school year. The School Commission is a leadership body and an advisory group to the principal and pastor on school policy and long-term planning. There are openings for several new at-large members starting next school year. This is a wonderful opportunity to provide a voice for all Holy Rosary parents and to be a leader in our school community.
Each School Commission member serves a 3 to 4-year term and hours spent on School Commission business count toward volunteer hours. For the upcoming year, we are looking for parents with backgrounds, expertise, or desire to support Catholic identity, finance and planning, fundraising and development, safety, security and facilities management.
The entire School Commission meets monthly between Sept-May (typically the first or second week of the month). In addition, each member is also assigned to one or two subcommittees based on his/her background and interests. This subcommittee work is done outside of the regular meeting and includes: 1) Catholic Identity & Community 2) Financial Stewardship and 3) Advancement.
Holy Rosary School Commission members must meet the following criteria:
* Interest in and commitment to Catholic education, and to the school’s philosophy and mission.
* Availability to attend the monthly evening School Commission meetings and other periodic events, and to participate in subcommittee work.
* Willingness to voice opinions and to listen respectfully to the opinions of others.
* Ability to maintain confidentiality.
* Ability to view issues with the good of the entire school community in mind.
* Ability to put the interest of the school before personal interest.
* Willingness to support and positively promote and attend major fundraising events and other school events.
If you have questions about becoming a member or the application process, contact your School Commission Vice President __________ at scvp@holyrosaryws.org. Applications should be received by April 30th. Applicants will subsequently be contacted for an interview.
Please note: The School Commission does not make decisions that affect day to day operations of the school or decisions regarding academic curricula; that is the responsibility of the principal and staff.
