The Advisory Board

To guarantee excellence for the years to come, we work together to develop programs and policies to benefit the school. The school's Advisory Board has standing committees. The Board agreed to expand two important committees:

The Development Committee develops alternative means of funding beyond our school and promotes new academic programs.
The Marketing Committee seeks to inform the community about the philosophy and goals of the school, handles the role of recruitment and public relations.

If you have the necessary skills and desire to serve on either of these committees, please call
Principal Sister Rene at (201) 262-6067, or
Brenda and Sean McInerney (201) 845-5208.
