join our upcoming WEBINAR: How catholic secondary schools are improving their financial position and increasing enrollment
Catholic Schools are vitally important educational institutions, however, in recent years many Catholic High Schools have suffered from enrollment losses due to weakening feeder school networks and strengthening competition from well-funded public and magnet schools. Given the reality that much of the cost structure of the schools is fixed, the result has been increased operating costs and pressures to raise tuition, resulting in weaker value propositions.
Join Dr. Harry Bloom of Measuring Success to learn how enlightened leaders Frank Miley of Cretin-Derham Hall and Michael Brennan of Holy Family Catholic High School are responding to enrollment losses by capitalizing on cutting edge demographic and benchmarking analysis to exploit new opportunities and replan their finances to increase perceived value.
The webinar is on November 4th at 1PM EST. Please follow this link to register! Registration closes once the webinar begins. Look for a link to the recorded webinar later that week..
Featured Presenters:
- Dr. Harry Bloom , Senior VP of Client Relations, Measuring Success
- Frank Miley, President, Cretin-Derham Hall
