About

For nearly seven decades, Andrean High School has formed generations of students in faith, learning, leadership, and service. As we look ahead to the next chapter of that legacy, Andrean has partnered with external experts and internal leaders to develop a 10-year strategic plan.  

 

The strategic plan was developed over the course of two years through collaboration between school leadership, faculty, staff, and outside educational consultants who helped identify opportunities for growth and long-term success. The plan was completed in December 2025. 


The Strategic Plan is our commitment to ensuring Andrean High School remains a strong, faith-filled, academically excellent Catholic school for generations to come. Every initiative is rooted in our mission, Magister Meus Christus ("Christ is My Teacher"), and focused on providing the best possible experience for our students and families.

The following outlines the goals and objectives of Andrean High School’s Strategic Plan for the next five to ten years:

  • Rewrite a mission statement that is strategic and visionary, and its implementation strengthens Catholic identity.
