The President works in close partnership with the Board of Directors, SSMO Ministries Corporation President, executive leadership, and key stakeholders to guide long-term planning, financial sustainability, and institutional growth. Why This Role Matters VCS is at an inflection point shared by many distinguished Catholic schools nationwide: a moment to honor a deeply rooted founding mission while enhancing operations, deepening enrollment pipelines, stewarding capital investment, and ensuring long-term financial sustainability. Because Valley Catholic operates as a unified PreK-12 campus, the President shapes the experience of a child from age 8 weeks through high school graduation — a rare scope and a rare opportunity. Key Responsibilities Mission & Faith Leadership Serve as a visible leader and witness to the Catholic faith. Actively support and advance the mission, values, and vision of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon (SSMO). Ensure that all programs, policies, and initiatives reflect and uphold the charism and educational philosophy of the SSMO Community. Foster a faith-filled culture across campus. Strategic Leadership & Operations Provide overall leadership and direction for all aspects of school operations, ensuring alignment with strategic and mission-driven goals. Establish, implement, and evaluate organizational policies, procedures, and departmental objectives. Provide leadership in setting strategic priorities and ensuring effective execution across all departments. Promote a culture consistent with the values and teachings of the Catholic faith.
