The School Advisory Board is based on a belief in the importance and power of shared leadership. Parents, faculty, administration and the entire community work together to set direction and determine policy in accordance with the mission of Mount Calvary Catholic School and the policies of the Archdiocesan Board of Education.

The purpose of the Mount Calvary School Advisory Board is to provide advice and assistance to the school's administrative team in the governance of the school. "Advisory" means that board members offer their experience and expertise to strengthen the decision making process. The Board fulfills its purpose and exercises its functions in accordance with the mission and goals of the parish and with the goals, policies, and regulations of the Archdiocese of Washington. Membership on the School Advisory Board is by appointment of the Pastor.
