In 2017, Archbishop Vigneron challenged all Catholic schools to engage in a serious self-assessment and develop a plan to maximize our potential and unleash the Gospel in our school. Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish School joyfully accepted this challenge, worked collaboratively and diligently, and developed a strategic plan that we are proud to share with the AOD and all of our stakeholders and continue to work on annually.

In late 2017, the OLGC School Planning Team was formed. The team consisted of our pastor (Fr. John Riccardo), school leadership, staff, teachers, school parents, parents whose children go to nearby Catholic schools, and an alumnus. The team was later joined by our current principal Melissa Hunt. The team met more than a dozen times over the first six months of 2018 and, after much prayer, hard work and collaboration, completed the process. The result, we believe, is a dynamic strategic plan, a living and breathing document that will continue to evolve as we do; that will take our school and our community to an entirely new level.

The School Planning Team will continue to meet biannually to review progress on the Strategic Plan and make changes as needed.

We invite you to also view this year’s Vision Casting video where Fr. Michael and Mrs. Hunt share our vision and mission with our school and parish community.
