Michael Garanzini, S.J., and the Loyola University Center for Catholic School Effectiveness, School of Education, and to Sr. Mary Paul McCaughey, O.P. and the Office of Catholic Schools for their assistance in shaping the plan for change. Our gratitude extends to the Catholic schools and parishes of the Archdiocese of Chicago, the Archdiocesan Principals Association, the Sisters of St. Joseph, the Sisters of Mercy, the Sisters of St. Agnes and the members of the Committee of Interests who have shared their talent and skill with Nsukka Catholic school leaders and educators.
