School Board

In conjunction with the Diocese of Portland, the mission of the Board is to further advance the school’s mission. Serving as the largest ministry of Our Lady of Hope Parish and the sole option for Catholic Elementary and Middle education in the City of Portland, the school seeks to form the whole child in partnership with family and school staff. The Board seeks to provide leadership, direction, consultation, and support toward instilling lived  Catholic values in the Mercy and Jesuit tradition while fostering self-discipline and promoting academic excellence in the spirit of a caring and affirming community of faith.  Our enthusiastic and active board is a blend of current and former St. Brigid School parents, Our Lady of Hope parishioners, and business men and women from the Greater Portland community.
