Schools

“They understand Catholic high schools because they have worked in them. They know the realities we face on a daily basis. Because we have partnered with them for a long time, they know us well. They bring the valuable perspective of working with a significant number of Catholic high schools. They share that experience with us as we try to plan appropriately for the future.”

“We began our strategic planning process with Meitler because we knew of their reputation for integrity and experience with Catholic Schools. We wanted excellence in our school and a culture worthy of the human person, but we did not have the strategies and best practices to get the job done. Now we do, thanks to the work of our Committee, and Tom and Rick. We look forward now to implementing the plan over the next few years.”

“Working with Meitler on our strategic plan was everything we expected and more. The consultants have such solid experiences working in, and with Catholic schools, and knowledge of strategic planning that they had instant credibility with everyone. They effectively guided our Board, planning committee, and focus groups, and the communication all along the way was superior. As Principal, the most helpful component was the follow up after planning committee meetings and the on-site visits. The consultants were exceptional at providing accurate summaries and outlines of our work. This was a tremendous help and appreciated in light of an already busy schedule as Principal.”

“For a decade, Meitler has been an important resource in charting Central Catholics’ future. Our 2000 strategic plan charted the course for significant enrollment expansion, a major capital campaign, and the construction of new facilities. We engaged Meitler for another planning process in 2010-11 which emphasized program quality, marketing and enrollment management. At the heart of both planning initiatives, and an important ingredient of their success, is Meitler’s gift for keeping our Catholic and Marist mission at the forefront of all decisions.”

“We have had an extraordinary year. All of the goals (for Advancement) in the strategic plan have been implemented this first year. We will most likely end the year more than 20% ahead of last year.”
