Brian Papstein
St. Bernard’s Catholic School is an independent catholic private school. It is the only private Pre-K thru 12th Grade school in California’s Northwest Coastal area. The school is not sponsored under the Diocese school program; but is supported by the passion and generosity of numerous individuals and businesses—proof of the high value the school is to our community. The school’s Board, Administration, and Faculty are committed to applying our best strengths proactively to keep the school advancing in its mission. These strengths are:

1. The school is solely dependent on the contributions of time, talent, and money of our people and community (those who have a stake and investment in the school’s success—our “stakeholders”).

2. The school is a private business and is not funded by public funds, utilizing best business practices to ensure the success of the school.

3. Our “stakeholders” – the school’s directors, administrators, employees, parents, alumni, friends, donors, and students – are all partners in this business. We honor each other’s roles and interests, and insist that the leaders of these groups communicate, coordinate, and support each other to reach our goals.

4. We are still first and foremost a family. We practice this, and do every thing we can to make sure we all contribute to and enjoy the school’s activities, events, and successes.

The school’s Board of Directors is actively involved in the planning for the future of the school to make sure it will thrive and succeed for the long term. We are completing one-year, three-year, and six-year action plans to carry out the strategic plan that was developed by the Board of Directors; and we will be starting on a master plan to upgrade the school’s buildings and grounds.

The foundation for the school’s success was laid by our predecessors. That was their gift to us. The way to return that gift is to pass it on. We will continue to work hard to pass the gift on to future parents and students who will fill our shoes.

Respectfully,


Brian Papstein, Chair
St. Bernard’s Catholic School Board
