Mayfield Senior School | Strategic Vision 2020

Securing our future with 2020 Vision

The Mayfield Senior School Board of Trustees, in collaboration with the Strategic Vision 2020 Committee, released the school’s six-year Strategic Vision in 2014. This document outlines the objectives we plan to accomplish by 2020 to “meet the wants of the age.” Our graduates are leaders who are confident, intellectually vibrant, compassionate and creative, and we are eager to put our Strategic Vision 2020 into action to continue shaping our young women of the future. Our Strategic Vision 2020 Committee was made up of current and former trustees, parents, staff, alumnae and their parents. We also gathered input from over 500 members of our community to answer questions such as: How do you see the Mayfield of the future? What programs and experiences should be in place? How can we better serve the community? What is the most important thing the school should accomplish by 2020? From the input we gathered, we developed four strategic initiatives: Holy Child Mission in Action, Learning in Action, Community in Action and Stewardship in Action.
