President Search

Partners in Mission Search Solutions is the retained search division of Partners in Mission; the nation's leading full-service consulting firm focused exclusively on developing excellence in Catholic school advancement and leadership.  They value, understand and embrace the importance of Catholic education in their personal and professional lives—and remain committed to ensuring its strength and vitality for years to come.

Engaged by religious congregations, school communities, boards and dioceses, their team of dedicated search consultants have identified and secured mission-driven professionals to serve in a myriad of Catholic school and diocesan leadership positions from Massachusetts to Hawaii.

Partners in Mission is honored to collaborate with the Eastside Catholic School community in identifying its next President.

The Search Committee is responsible for leading the search for Eastside Catholic School's next President, with guidance and support from Partners in Mission. Trustees Scott Leist and Tom Shemanski are Co-chairs of the Search Committee.

Working in close partnership with the consulting team, the Committee will review candidate applications, conduct semi-finalist and finalist interviews and coordinate opportunities for members of the community to engage with the leading candidates. Following these interactions, the Committee will review all feedback, references and background information before submitting a final recommendation to the Board of Trustees for approval.

The Committee is committed to ensuring that the search process is prayerful, thorough, fair, transparent and inclusive, while maintaining the confidentiality essential to attracting the strongest pool of candidates.

The Eastside Catholic community is invited to actively participate in the search process through various opportunities designed to gather broad input and engagement. Partners in Mission will distribute a community-wide survey to gather perspectives from parents, guardians, students, faculty, staff and alumni on the qualities and priorities they desire in the next President.

Additionally, Partners in Mission will host on-campus listening sessions with stakeholder groups to gain a deeper understanding of Eastside Catholic School's strengths, aspirations and opportunities for growth.

Throughout the process, the community is encouraged to stay informed by following updates from the Search Committee and checking this webpage for new communications, the search timeline and key milestones. Once Finalists are identified, representatives from our faculty, student body, parents, guardians and alumni will be invited to participate in open sessions with each candidate. Community feedback following these visits will pay an important role in the Committee's considerations for the final selection.

Most importantly, the Eastside Catholic School community is encouraged to pray for the members of the Search Committee and for our new leader during this time of discernment.
