In 2009, the St. Joseph’s Academy (SJA) board set out to build a compelling vision and plan that ensures long-term success of the all-girl Catholic high school’s mission. The board formed a strategic planning committee to engage the entire SJA Community in the planning process.

The committee’s challenge? Crafting a holistic vision that leads the entire SJA community – a diverse group of past, present and future students, their families, teachers and school staff in a new direction.

Working with Congruence, the board engaged stakeholders using a variety of tools including questionnaires, surveys and focus groups and one-on-one dialogues. Constituents were invited through letters, emails and personal conversations to shape the vision by offering their perceptions of SJA’s strengths and areas for improvement. By clearly communicating its goals from the outset, the committee’s hopes set an expectation for dialogue among all contributing groups throughout the vision setting and three-year goal achievement process.
