PROCESS OVERVIEW Over the last year, we engaged the entire community, including boys, teachers, administrators, alumni, current and former parents, and the Board, to develop the strategic plan. More than 200 community members responded to surveys with thoughtful suggestions. The Strategic Planning team conducted research locally and globally. All parents were invited to participate in facilitated think tanks and to consider questions such as: What are the defining characteristics of a Cathedral education? What skills should Cathedral develop in boys today to ensure their future success? What might Cathedral look like in ten years? Our aim was to make the process as transparent as possible. Notes from all strategic planning and Board meetings are published as part of an online blog that is regularly updated and shared with the community. This blog includes key findings from an external factbase in addition to detailed survey feedback from parents and faculty/staff that will be particularly helpful as the strategy is implemented. We are grateful for your help in shaping the goals, initiatives, and metrics that are part of the Strategic Plan for the next five years. This plan will provide a road map for Cathedral, but it will also be flexible and adapt when necessary. We will review and report regularly on our priorities and progress as we move from research to implementation in the coming year.
