Leadership
A Leadership Team in an Augustinian School engages in a process of collaboration and collegiality in manners pertaining to the school community. The assumption is that each member of the team has a valued perspective and is genuinely invested in the endeavor which maximizes the efforts of others - faculty, staff, and students, toward the achievement of a greater good, namely, the education of the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Leadership involves establishing a clear vision, sharing that vision with others and providing the information, knowledge, and methods to realize that vision.
