Greetings from the Co-Chairs of the Board

We are starting the new school year full of energy and enthusiasm for the changes ahead, while always holding close the values upon which our school was built. With help and guidance from the school community, the Board adopted a five-year Strategic Plan in June 2008. In the words of the introduction to this Plan,

Success for future leaders will demand knowledge of and sensitivity to a vast array of cultures, races and religions. They will confront complex moral problems whose solutions will require a sophisticated grasp of ethical decision making, and above all a sense of empathy, of equity, of fundamental fairness.

At St. Paul’s, we are committed to growing the future leaders that this world needs through rich academics, a diverse environment and a longstanding service learning program that engages students with our surrounding community.

• Achieving smaller class size to optimize learning for all students

• Improvement of facilities (for details about our new buildings, gymnasium and library, click here)

• To complete our school’s expansion, introducing a third section to the 6th-8th grades

• Employing more sophisticated communications, both internally and externally (Be on the lookout for our new web site!)

We and the rest of the Board of Trustees are looking forward to working with all of our partners - parents, students, faculty, staff, church and community – to build a vibrant future for St. Paul’s.
