The School Advisory Council ("the Council") was established on October 1, 2015. The Council currently assists Sister Joann Marie Aumand, Director, Mrs. Suzanne Florendo, Principal, and Monsignor Cronin, as pastor, in our respective roles. This group of individuals brings different professional and spiritual gifts to the table and are willing to offer their time and talents in service to the Holy Mother Church. The Council is committed to strengthening our school and making our presence essential to the people in Basking Ridge and our neighboring communities. We are a Christ-centered school community that offers academic excellence to all of our students.
Supporting the Pastor, Director and the Principal, the School Advisory Council, with the assistance of many committees, will initially focus on improving key areas, including the following: Academics, Business and Finance, Electives, Marketing, Development, and Building and Grounds. All committee chairs are assigned at least one area of focus. They are charged with organizing a group that will work with them on their respective committees.
We want to create an open and transparent dialogue on how we ALL can contribute towards improving our school. The Council wants to leverage the many gifts and talents of our teachers, parents, alumni, and parishioners from their careers and their faith-life experiences. We need your help: we say we are Christ-centered offering academic excellence, which we are! Now we will do it even better with the help of God and all of you.
The members of the Council include:
B.J. Agugliaro, Chair of the School Advisory Council:Through our labor of love, our goal is to position Saint James School for success in its next 50 years of Catholic education. Thank you for you your support of Catholic schools here in the Diocese of Metuchen.
