School Commission

The St. Louise School Commission is established by the pastor, in accord with Archdiocesan policy, to assist him and the principal in the governance of the parish school. The Commission is consultative in the following sense: the members act in collaboration with the pastor and principal and will only make decisions for the parish school with the approval of the pastor and principal. When the Commission meets as pastor, principal, and members, and agrees on a policy matter, the decision is effective and binding on all. The Commission's responsibilities are in the areas of Planning, Policy Development, Marketing, and Finance. Members of the School Commission consist of the pastor, principal, vice-principal, development director, Parents' Club president, and six to eight selected persons who are members of St. Louise Parish and/or parents of children attending St. Louise School. The School Commission usually meets on the first Thursday of the month from September through June, at 7:00 p.m.. All monthly meetings are open to members of the parish and parents of children attending St. Louise School.

If you would like to contact a School Commission member for more information or to discuss a school-related issue, please contact them via their emails below or through their phone number in the school roster.
