Junípero Serra High School
2024-25 Advisory Board of Regents


In September 2005, the Archdiocese of San Francisco approved bylaws that established Serra's Advisory Board of Regents. The purpose of the Advisory Board of Regents is to assist the President and, ultimately, the Superintendent of Catholic Schools by providing advice, counsel and assistance in the following areas:

  • Strategic Planning
  • Finance
  • Institutional Advancement & Development
  • Buildings and Grounds
  • Enrollment Management

Comprised of a dedicated cadre of alumni and alumni parents, as well as leaders from business, education, government and ministry, the board has added much value to our efforts to further the mission of Junipero Serra High School.
