President's Welcome
Dear Bishop Stang Friends & Families:
June has arrived, and with that we are now in the final stage of the school year. As of this writing, final preparations are being made for graduation which will be on June 5th at 5 pm (on what now is forecast to be the warmest day of the year. Yes, God is good!) There is a real feeling of accomplishment by so many this week. We eagerly look forward to the celebrations to come.
Speaking of accomplishments, I am pleased to report that the Board of Trustees has approved the new 2025-2030 strategic plan titled Invest in Excellence. This announcement is the culmination of a nine month project that many in Spartan Village were a part of crafting. The bold, comprehensive plan lays out a five year vision for the school in all areas (Academics, Advancement, Catholic Identity, Enrollment, Facilities, Finance, Governance, Marketing, and Student Life). Now that approval has been granted, the school administration team is getting to work on the implementation stage, which will start in earnest this August. Each department will be listing what specific items will be tracked in order to follow progress on the goals that are created.
While there is a teaser that is included as part of this newsletter, a much more elaborate announcement will be made at the beginning of next school year that will outline the plan in its entirety. It will be essential for the future of our school that we execute on all of our goals the next five years. Bishop Stang has positively impacted thousands of individuals on the South Coast since our inception in 1959. In order to continue to impact thousands more of future Spartans, it will be critical that we execute on all of our goals the next five years.
For now, sunshine and warm breezes await, providing the parameters for less hectic days the next couple of months. Please know the educators will get their rest too but will be using the time to plan improvements for the 2025-26 school year. Enjoy your loved ones this summer!
Peace,
Jim Benson
President
