Sacred Heart High School announces the creation of an Advisory Board. The Rules and Procedures of the Sacred Heart Advisory Board were signed by School President Rev. Matthew Janeczko and Founding Chairman, John McCormick '85. The Board then unanimously approved its Rules at its November 28 evening meeting.
The Board will seek to promote the institutional advancement of Sacred Heart, drawing upon the resources of alumni and community leaders. Its statutes call for standing committees regarding Strategic Planning, Institutional Advancement, Building and Grounds, Finance, and Mission. The Board is composed of a diverse array of leaders and experts from a variety of fields, including education, legal, business, finance, plant management, ethics, and strategic planning.
In welcoming the Board, Father Janeczko expressed his thanks on behalf of the Administration, Faculty, Staff and students: "Sacred Heart has provided excellent Catholic education for ninety-five years. Because of dedicated people serving on our Board, we will continue our mission of providing Catholic education to the young women and men of Westchester, the Bronx, Manhattan, and beyond."
Fr. Janeczko appointed John McCormick '85 to serve as the Board's Founding Chairperson. Other officers will be appointed in the coming weeks.
In response to his appointment, McCormick remarked, "It is a privilege to be associated with Sacred Heart and the outstanding board of advisors that we have assembled. With strong leadership from Father Janeczko and Principal Karen Valenti-DeCecco, Sacred Heart has never been better positioned to execute on its mission of providing outstanding Catholic education to our community.”
