Purpose
The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops Education Department (TCCB ED) requires each school to have a governing body in place. The Catholic Schools Office and the Archdiocesan School Council recommend an Advisory School Board for each campus to focus on the needs and growth of the school as opposed to a broader Total Board of Education that focuses on the educational needs of the overall parish for every age group. Catholic school Boards are advisory to the Principal and Pastor in Parish schools. Boards assist the Principal and Pastor in Parish schools to recommend policy, identify and articulate the educational needs and aspirations of the school and school community and engage in long range strategic planning. These goals become the basis for program objectives, policies, and action plans for the educational programs of the school.
Committees
Approval and establishment of school committees are based on the authority and approval of the Pastor and Principal in Archdiocesan Parish schools. Members of the committees may be drawn from Board membership and from the community at large and are chaired by a Board member. The school Board with the approval of the Pastor and Principal in Archdiocesan Parish schools may provide for such committees, as it deems advisable and may discontinue committees at its discretion.
Our Mission
Corpus Christi Catholic School is a diverse community committed to sharing our faith, and to challenging the whole child through academic excellence, physical development, and social-emotional growth in a respectful and supportive environment.
