Strategic Plan: Impelled to Action
One of the Society of the Sacred Heart’s founding Mothers, Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ, once said that “it is better to begin a great work than to finish a small one.”
Regis’ new Strategic Plan –
Impelled to Action
– is an ambitious roadmap for the future of our School over the next five years, and it is rooted in the
Goals & Criteria
. Spanning from 2025 to 2030, the Regis community will build upon its 30-year-plus history and live boldly into the future.
Impelled to Action
and the bold vision it represents the work of an entire community that is passionate about a Sacred Heart, Catholic education for scholars and gentlemen.
Impelled to Action
was formally adopted by the Board of Trustees by an unanimous vote in May 2025. We are grateful to the Board of Trustees and the entire Regis community for their responses and support during the yearlong, community-wide process for the development of
Impelled to Action
