ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE

Archbishop Mitty High School operates under the direction of the Department of Education of the Diocese of San Jose. The President, Mr. Tim Brosnan, works closely with the Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese and with the support of the Bishop. The President has the ultimate responsibility for the general administrative functions of the school, and he delegates many of the day-to-day responsibilities of the school to various of the school’s administrators.  In addition, the President maintains the relationship between the school and its publics; insures the ongoing Catholic identity of the school; supervises the Director of Campus Ministry; and facilitates the operations of the school’s Board of Regents.

The Board of Regents is comprised of members of the local community dedicated to the continuing success of Archbishop Mitty.  It meets quarterly and advises the President. Through its committees, the Board assists in strategic planning and policy development.
