18 In March, over the course of two days, 30 committed members of the Spellman family began creating the Cardinal Spellman High School 2012-2017 Strategic Plan. The committee consisting of teachers, administrators, parents, students, alumni and members of the board of trustees travelled to Stonehill College and participated in group discussions about various topics related to Spellman. The goal of the committee was to establish a long-range direction for the school and provide a clear focus for future pursuits by identifying priorities for improvement. The 2012-2017 Strategic Plan is the culmination of their analysis and work. Strategic Planning is a process for creating an organization’s preferred future. It is a long-range planning process for organizational renewal and transformation which provides a framework for improving programs, management functions and evaluation of an organization’s progress. Strategic planning helps organizations think and act strategically, develop effective strategies, clarify future directions, establish priorities, improve organizational performance, build teamwork and expertise and deal effectively with a rapidly changing environment. The strategic planning process involves a series of steps that moves an organization through: • analyzing relevant external trends and their implications; • assessing organizational capacity to manage external change; • developing a mission statement and guiding beliefs; • establishing goals, objectives and action plans designed to move the organization to where it wants to be; • setting a strategic direction to follow to achieve its mission and objectives; • communicating its mission, beliefs and goals/ objectives to all stakeholder groups; Cardinal Spellman • tradition Cardinal Spellman President Dr. John McEwan was very energized and enthusiastic with the results of the strategic planning session. “Cardinal Spellman High School is very fortunate to have such loyal, dedicated people interested in its future,” he said. “I was very moved by all the committee got done and I am very excited about where we go from here.” Tradition Magazine is providing its readers with a condensed version of the five-year plan.
