Leadership and Guidance

Home » About » Leadership and Guidance

St. Michael’s Academy is not a single parish school but a diocesan school-led on a daily basis by a self-supporting leadership team consisting of a School Principal, Business Administrator, Director of Advancement, and Director of Admissions and Marketing. The team reports directly to the Springfield Diocesan Office. The school’s governance includes a school board with limited jurisdiction. This board, known as the Board of Trustees, meets on a regular basis to guide the strategic planning of the school and ensure the sound future of St. Michael’s Academy. With the input from faculty, board members, parents, and community members, St. Michael’s Academy created a strategic plan that will bring the Academy through the following five years: Inspire and Enlighten: 2023.
