St. Cletus School Board Vacancies

       The St. Cletus School Board is accepting applications to serve a three-year term on the Board, beginning with the 2014-15 school year.  The Board has two particular needs.  We need one member to serve on the Marketing and Publicity Committee and another to serve and lead us with the Alumni Committee.

       The Marketing and Publicity Committee is responsible for advertising and promoting the school's strengths and accomplishments across all forms of media, the recruitment of new families, and retention goals. Members are expected to establish an action plan to execute the above needs as well as support additional School Board initiatives.

       The Alumni Chairperson is responsible for creating and distributing an Alumni newsletter twice a year, work with the school office to update and maintain the alumni database, and coordinate two alumni events. The Chairperson should be able to establish a subcommittee of volunteers to assist with the above responsibilities.
