Tree on Campus

The John Carroll School is committed to maintaining a safe and environmentally responsible campus. As part of our ongoing efforts, we will remove several softwood trees that have become prone to falling and replace them with hardwood species. This renewal and replenishment of our campus trees not only prioritizes safety but also supports our dedication to environmental stewardship efforts in becoming a certified Green School. We remain focused on preserving the natural beauty of our campus while ensuring a secure environment for our community.

Policies and procedures

The School has been blessed with a wide variety of facilities and extensive grounds and they play a significant role in helping fulfill our purpose and mission. With the continued growth of The John Carroll School, we found it necessary to formalize and expand our policies and procedures. Their purpose is to assist us in using our finite space and resources in the very best way possible. In addition, they help us to maintain focus on the overall vision and mission of the School. Support for these policies will assist with our existing activities as well as continued growth. We must also ensure that every reasonable precaution has been taken to limit exposure in areas such as life, safety and security.

Our efforts to be good stewards of the entire facility are critical to our mission and are also an expression of our appreciation for the way in which God has blessed The John Carroll School family. We see the campus as a tool which we can use to support our primary mission as a faith-based school and to partner with other groups and organizations that are compatible with our mission. For those reasons, the policies and procedures in this document have been adopted by the Board of Trustees and leadership of The John Carroll School to ensure the proper usage and continued good stewardship of our facilities, campus and resources.
