Strategic Plan: Impelled to Action
One of the Society of the Sacred Heart’s founding Mothers, Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ, once said that “it is better to begin a great work than to finish a small one.”
Regis’ new Strategic Plan – Impelled to Action – is an ambitious roadmap for the future of our School over the next five years, and it is rooted in the Goals & Criteria. Spanning from 2025 to 2030, the Regis community will build upon its 30-year-plus history and live boldly into the future.
Impelled to Action and the bold vision it represents the work of an entire community that is passionate about a Sacred Heart, Catholic education for scholars and gentlemen.
Impelled to Action was formally adopted by the Board of Trustees by an unanimous vote in May 2025. We are grateful to the Board of Trustees and the entire Regis community for their responses and support during the yearlong, community-wide process for the development of Impelled to Action.

Sacred Heart Goals & Criteria
Our Process
Impelled to Action is the final product of a year-long process that began in the summer of 2024. Regis enlisted the support of Dr. Joseph J. Ciancaglini, a principal consultant with Arete Educational Consulting and long-time Sacred Heart Head of School, to help us design and administer a robust process of gathering community input. Impelled to Action reflects the voices of more than 200 faculty and staff, parents, alumni, and Board of Trustees gathered in a series of larger format meetings, small focus groups, and one-on-one conversations. Additionally, the voices of many more were heard in community surveys and via our self-study process for the Sacred Heart Commission on Goals (SHCOG). Simply put, Impelled to Action and the bold vision it represents are the ideations of those passionate about a Sacred Heart, Catholic education for scholars and gentlemen.
