Board of Trustees

The SMCS Board of Trustees areas of focus include increasing visibility and communication, hiring and evaluating the system president, facilitating third-source fundraising for the system and developing growth opportunities. Curriculum and education issues are the responsibility of the schools led by our school principals. Each principal works closely with and under the direction of the system president, who is responsible for keeping the board informed.

The board includes the pastoral leaders from each of the five parishes in Neenah and Menasha, and members who are selected and appointed by the board’s governance committee. Terms of service for the SMCS Board of Trustees are three years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms (six consecutive years). The board meets at St. Mary Catholic High School on the third Wednesday of every month, except July.

Currently, the SMCS Board of Trustees is collaborating with educators and SMCS leadership to implement “A Plan for Our Future,” a strategic planning initiative.
