The strategy aims to grow the high school student body while preparing students for their future within a Christ-centered framework. One key focus is a targeted recruitment plan to attract students by identifying key demographics, creating engaging marketing materials, and hosting open house events. For example, partnerships with local churches and social media campaigns can increase awareness.
Another strategy involves enhancing educational and extracurricular programs to prepare students for college and careers. Feedback from students and staff helps identify improvements, like integrating the school's mission more deeply into the curriculum. Offering diverse extracurricular activities can also boost student engagement.
Finally, strengthening community engagement is crucial. Hosting events and building volunteer programs enhance community relationships. Establishing an alumni network and showcasing students' societal contributions can deepen these ties, creating a supportive environment for growth.
