In short, we're here to help the St. Ethelreda family: parents, students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Together we'll build a stronger, brighter future for our school and our students.

The Board of Specified Jurisdiction, as authorized by the Archdiocese of Chicago, Office of Catholic Schools, has the authority to make decisions in specified areas. These areas are:

• Vision and mission

• Institutional development

• Finance and facilities

• Marketing and recruitment

 

Additionally, the Board is empowered to collaborate with Dr. Spells to support the work of administering and leading the school. Presently, we are focusing on our facilities, curriculum, and this building student leadership by bringing in members of the community to speak about leadership.
