Examining the Complete Role of Catholic School Administrators and the Impact on Institutional Viability
Stephanie Latza Brown
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, St. Thomas University
Catholic school administrators are asked to undertake many roles and responsibilities as the academic, spiritual, and managerial leaders within their institution, in addition to other emerging responsibilities. Little research has comprehensively described the expectations placed on Catholic school administrators. Therefore, this qualitative descriptive study examined the perspectives of Catholic school administrators and explored the responsibilities associated with their roles using a survey, partially structured interviews, and a focus group to investigate their perceptions, preparation levels, and support received from all levels of leadership. This study found that administrators viewed their roles as the spiritual leaders of their institutions as their most important and consistently felt pressured to increase their school's enrollment. A lack of formal spiritual leadership and financial management training posed challenges for these Catholic school administrators.
