Fatima...expect success lays out a road map for Our Lady of Fatima High School as Zoom helps them face the challenges of the 21st Century. It includes a set of goals that emerged from an inclusive planning process—goals that will play a vital role in our efforts to define Fatima's future.

 

Our planning effort is not about changing the direction of the high school, but rather recognizing that they are constantly evolving. We have established a strategic direction that creates the bridge between where they are now and a vision of the future.

 

I encourage you to explore the plan, follow our progress, give us your input, as we work with Fatima High School. This strategic plan will help Fatima achieve its full potential and make cooperative efforts to expand the effectiveness of Catholic education into the 21st century.

The Plan

Strategic Planning Process:

 

The planning process for Fatima began in 2008. Faculty, Staff, Parents, Alumni, Stakeholders, Community Leaders and Students participated in focus groups and provided input to collectively define the operational vision of Fatima.

 

With this vision clearly defined, the planning work continued with the school board. The board collected data to assess the current situation, and developed goals and strategies to attain the vision. Using interviews and input from the focus groups the board outlined the strengths and challenges Fatima faces and identified potential opportunities.

 

These analyses resulted in six key areas Fatima needs to enhance in order to achieve its vision. Then goals were developed that would broadly define accomplishments or results to be achieved in order for Fatima to fulfill its mission and achieve its vision.

 

In 2009, the six committees were formed to complete and continue to work. The goal is to create their own action plans and projects in support of the goals and strategies of the plan.

Effective business development involves strategies that combine the use of media, web and innovative procedures to track the growth of your marking and advertising efforts. The overall goal in business development is to structure your organization and your message at large to ensure optimal positioning within your business’ given market.  

As an organization it is important to ensure that the investment spent on advertising and marketing is generating more opportunity for your company. Without tracking, you are advertising and marketing blindly. For many businesses, sales and marketing are undeniably linked. Effective business development brings people in the door, and gives your team the real-time information necessary to evaluate your business and make the dynamic changes to ensure the success and longevity of your corporation.
