The Office of Catholic Schools welcomes an External Review Team to evaluate the progress of the school improvement processes utilized in our Archdiocesan schools. The team, certified by AdvancED and representative of Catholic diocesan leaders throughout the country, are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring effective improvement protocols and practices are indeed in place throughout our system of schools. In order to accomplish this, the team will consult with various stakeholder groups and analyze survey results collected from students, parents, faculty and staff Additionally, the team will visit several of our schools to observe our learning environment and student engagement. Finally, the team will identify school improvement practices that are done well in the Archdiocese and provide suggestions to promote growth for continued success. As a result of the visit, the Office of Catholic Schools intends to secure AdvancED system-wide accreditation for a period of five years.
