The School Advisory Committee (SAC) was established in August, 2002. The SAC was formed to assist in guiding the Day School program as an educated resource to the community served by St. Bernadette Parish. The SAC is an advisory resource in the areas of planning, policy and program development, evaluation, finance, and communications. The SAC is structured in accord with developed by-laws and is comprised of nine regular members who represent broad, diverse, and professional areas of the Parish and School community. Terms vary from 2-3 years with the term of four members expiring each year.
