The generous commitment that the members have for their school and the parish community is recognized and valued as an integral part of the ministry of Catholic education.
An important element in developing this community climate is the collaborative leadership of parents with the pastor and principal in the operation of the local school advisory board. Each has a specific role and commensurate responsibility in developing the school’s programs, policies, and procedures.

- Follow policies and administrative procedures of the Diocese of Phoenix and the Catholic Schools Office
