Board Overview

By a decree dated February 27, 1980, Bishop John L. Morkovsky established a Board of Education for the Diocese of Galveston-Houston and ratified its Constitution.

The Board is an advisory body whose purpose is to provide policy direction for the educational programs of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston, as enumerated in its Bylaws.

The Board is responsible for recommending policies to the Bishop and to set general standards, goals, and objectives pertaining to the educational mission of the Church and review the implementation and evaluate the effectiveness of such policies. Often the Bishop consults with the Board before decisions are taken in such matters as opening, closing or changing the status of a school or religious education program, and appointment and termination of the Directors of the offices reporting to the Diocesan Board of Education.

The Bishop of the Diocese authorizes the policies and the Board circulates them to be implemented by the Directors of diocesan offices reporting to the Diocesan Board of Education.

To Pastors with School Boards or Boards of Education:
Chairperson Training Program Offered Online
A series of "Webinars" will empower chairpersons of boards/councils/commissions, pastors, and administrators with the tools and information they need to become more successful, mission-oriented leaders. Because time, distance, and complex lifestyles make it difficult to participate in on-site team workshops, we are offering you quality board formation experiences online in partnership with the University of Dayton's distance learning center. Click on a link below for more information. (You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to read these forms.)

Report of Survey Results: Catholic Education for Every Child


In the fall of 2003, a committee in the former Diocese of Galveston-Houston distributed a survey to parents to determine the need and demand for a school program and/or services for children with special learning needs.

The return surveys were analyzed and summarized. This report provides those findings.
