Mission and Vision
Mission and Vision
The St. Clair Catholic District School Board was created January 1, 1998 as the result of amalgamation of the former Kent and Lambton County Roman Catholic Separate School Boards. In the past, we were separated by geography, yet united by our common bonds as Catholic educators. In 1998 we came together, united by our traditions, philosophies, and a renewed dedication to a strong and vibrant Catholic education.
Indeed, this is the reason for Catholic schools. In a 1979 message to the National Catholic Educational Association of the United States, Pope John Paul II speaks of “…the lofty role of Catholic educators…” It is a high standard that each of us in the St. Clair Catholic District School Board strives to achieve every day.

In 2014, after wide-spread consultation with all stakeholders, including parents and students, senior administration and principals, our teaching and support staff and our parish partners, a new strategic plan was developed. It was approved by the Board of Trustees on June 17, 2014. The new plan, Lighting the Way - Rejoicing in Our Journey: Our Plan for Excellence in Our Catholic Schools, 2014 and Beyond can be viewed in pdf format by clicking here.
