and value-based setting. At St. Thomas More School, we accomplish this goal by

understanding and insight.

Achievements
St. Thomas More School achieved its goal of building and moving into a new building in 2007. The building includes state of the art technology, air-conditioning and top of the line classroom amenities. Student population, activities and events have increased since moving into the new school building. In addition, the school instituted an electronic debit tuition collection system in the fall of 2005. The system streamlined tuition collection, nearly eliminated debt issues and stabilized tuition cash flow from the school to the parish.

Project Evaluation
St, Thomas More School is currently in the Middle States Commission reevaluation stage conducting a self-study and creating a strategic plan for the next three years. The self-study Designing our Future, covers all area relating to the school from transportaion to curriculum. Professional staff, school families and parish representatives are involved in this important work, which will culminate in a visit from a Middle State Commission team of peer evaluators in October of 2009. The impact of this study will be a clearly defined image for the school and a well thought out plan for growth and development for our future in addition to reaccreditation status.
