What is the role of the Search Committee?

The Search Committee is responsible for leading the search for Catholic High’s next President with guidance and support from Partners in Mission search firm.

The Search Committee will review candidate applications vetted by Partners in Mission and conduct interviews with semi-finalists and finalists. The Search Committee will coordinate opportunities for the community to meet the leading candidates and then review feedback, references, and background checks before submitting a recommendation for the role to the Board of Trustees.

The Committee will ensure that the search process is thorough, fair, transparent, and inclusive. A key role of the Search Committee is to keep Catholic High’s community informed and engaged throughout the search process while respecting the confidentiality of the candidate recruitment process.

How can Catholic High’s community participate in the search process?

Our Catholic High community is being invited to participate in a survey designed by Partners in Mission. The survey will allow all constituents to share input about Catholic High and the search process. In addition, Partners in Mission will schedule in-person meetings with the various members of our community including parents, students, and alumnae.

The community is encouraged to stay engaged in the process by following updates sent from the Search Committee and posted on this webpage. Once the finalists have been announced, faculty, students, parents/guardians, and alumnae will be invited to open meetings with each of the candidates. Feedback following these open meetings will be used to inform the Search Committee.
