Strategic Planning
From a single preschool class in 1952 to one of the largest Episcopal parish schools in the nation today, St. Francis has flourished over the years with a foundation of faith and an eye toward the future.
We are embarking on a new journey to refocus our long-term goals. The school has hired strategic planning consulting firm, Triangle Associates. There is a timeline overview below and frequently asked questions can be answered here. This initiative is being led by the Board of Trustees and the Strategic Planning Committee.
Strategic Planning Committee:
- Maggie Stacy, Strategic Planning Committee Chair and Board Secretary
- Rob Pierce, Board Chair
- Chelsea Collins, Head of School
- Stuart Bates, Rector, St. Francis Episcopal Church
- Christina Blackwell, Board
- Lorin Crater, Head of Institutional Advancement
- Justin Doran, Assistant Head of School
- Jennifer Glover, Head of Admissions
- Julie Grandt, Board
- Alan Hunt, Chief Financial Officer
- Alan Smith, Board
- Shelby Stratmann, Board Vice Chair
- Mark Stringer, Board Treasurer
The school's previous strategic plan, St. Francis 2025, was shared with the St. Francis community in May 2019 and expires next year.
As we move through this process, let us always remember that one of our longest held assets and greatest strengths is our caring, connected, and mission-focused community.
