Four Years, Four Bold Moves
Faith in Our Future 2027, our strategic plan, was first born in 2021 as we watched Bishop Verot making great strides toward growth and success. Partnering with the Meitler Group to determine the overall strategic direction of the Bishop Verot, school leadership took on an extensive eight month, collaborative process that included feasibility and market research studies, surveyed alumni on their educational and formational outcomes and validated the vision with faculty and stand, members of the School Board, and a large number of the Verot community.
In all, more than 150 community members provided input and worked to validate the vision that will guide our efforts over the next five years. It was critical to all parties involved that in fulfilling this vision, Bishop Verot upholds our commitment in being rooted in Catholic Education- this while working toward a more technology based and collaborative future, while embracing and preserving our past.
