Catholic School Trustees play a vital role in ensuring that Catholic education continues to thrive in Ontario. They are elected representatives who help shape the future of Catholic education by making decisions that support student achievement, uphold the mission of Catholic schools, and serve the needs of their local communities.

To help those considering this important vocation, the Archdiocese of Toronto has developed Could You Be a Catholic School Board Trustee? A Resource to Help Guide Discernment: Frequently Asked Questions. The resource provides an overview of the role of a Catholic School Trustee, the qualifications required, the responsibilities of the position, and answers to many commonly asked questions.

The guide has been distributed to parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto and is intended to help individuals prayerfully discern whether they are called to serve Catholic education in this important leadership role.

The Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board joins in commending His Eminence Frank Cardinal Leo for his vision in developing this resource. We also extend our gratitude to the bishops throughout Ontario for their continued support of publicly funded Catholic education and for recognizing the significant contribution Catholic School Trustees make in advancing the mission of Catholic schools.

We encourage anyone interested in learning more about becoming a Catholic School Trustee to review the resource and consider how they might be called to serve their faith community through Catholic education.
