School Governance

School Governance

Juan Diego Catholic High School is a Catholic, secondary, diocesan school under the direction of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Salt Lake City and his delegates, the Vicar General and the Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Salt Lake City. The principal, appointed by the Bishop, will administer the school.

Lines of Communication

Open, supportive, and frequent dialogue between teachers, students, and parents provides an excellent environment for student success. Formal, scheduled conferences between the school and parents are held twice a year, once each Semester. Additional meetings may be scheduled with your student’s teacher or counselor by calling the teacher directly or the counselor in Student Services at 801-984-7641.

Parents who have questions or concerns regarding classroom situations, academic progress, extra or co-curricular activities or behavior problems are to follow these procedures:

• Complaints and/or concerns should be addressed with the person most immediate to the problem. Make an appointment with the teacher, counselor, coach, or moderator to discuss the situation.

• If there are further questions regarding academics or athletics or extra-co-curricular activities or disciplinary matters, speak with:

  • Dean(s)

  • Assistant Principal

  • Vice Principal

• Parents then have the option to appeal decisions made in these conferences to the Principal whose decision is final at the school.

• Parents may appeal the Principal’s decision to the Superintendent of Catholic Schools at the Diocese.

Any calls or inquiries made directly to Administrators will be referred back through this communication hierarchy unless issues of legality or morality are involved.

Confidentiality

Faculty and staff adhere to HIPAA rulings and keep confidential information entrusted to them so long as no one’s life, health, or safety is at stake, and as long as there is no indication of criminal activity.  Parents will be promptly notified of teacher or counselor concerns.
