SCHOOL GOVERNANCE
Our school governance structure draws upon the collective experience of our Parish Pastor, Principal, and School Board in accordance with the Archdiocese of Boston’s 2010 Initiative – a plan to make the Catholic schools in our archdiocese the best in the nation by 2010.
As a Parish school, the Pastor is ultimately responsible as our canonical administrator. The Principal and Assistant Principal oversee the daily operation of our school, its staff, and its academic offering. The School Board is one of limited jurisdiction, serving in an advisory capacity to ensure the viability and success of our program.
The Pastor, Principal, and School Board work together to guide the school’s academic, strategic, and institutional advancement in accordance with the vision and mission of the Parish and the Archdiocese of Boston.
The School Board is comprised of local practitioners from the professional, civic,
and business community. Our 2009-2010 Board includes:
- Fr. Peter Gori, O.S.A. – Pastor, St. Augustine Parish
- Mrs. Ann Kendall – Principal, St. Augustine School
- Mrs. Paula O’Dea – Assistant Principal, St. Augustine School
