Introduction
St. Mary’s Academy (SMA) is an independent, non-profit Catholic school for young
women in Grades 7-12, rooted in the tradition of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus
and Mary. Our mission is to nurture young women in spirit, mind, and body so that each
student reaches her full potential as an individual created in God’s image.
SMA’s legacy of learning, faith, and service has changed the lives of thousands of students
over the last 156 years, empowering them to become confident and considerate leaders and to
use their gifts and abilities in the service of others.
St. Mary’s Academy is seeking proposals from qualified consultants or firms to lead the
development of a new Strategic Plan that will guide the Academy’s priorities and
initiatives over the next five years.

Background
St. Mary’s Academy is governed by a Board of Directors, and supported by the SMA
Foundation. The school community includes students, faculty, staff, alumnae,
parents, the SMA Stewardship and Members of the Civic Corporation. The most
recent strategic plan was grounded in our Mission, Vision and Values – Leading,
Learning and Legacy – and identified five key goals: Identity, Academics,
Learning and Innovation, Well-Being, Governance and Leadership and
Stewardship. The new strategic plan should build on this foundation, reflect the
evolving needs of our students and broader community, and remain aligned with our
Catholic identity and mission.
