Managing For Mission Careers in Tacoma, WA

Through consultation, workshops, presentations and publications, Managing for Mission shares proven management practices that will strengthen the apostolic, pedagogical, community and business models of faith-based schools. Managing for Mission was founded by Jack Peterson in 2011 based on more than 30 years of on-the-ground experience leading Bellarmine Preparatory School in Tacoma WA. During that time the school has developed recognized programs for student & faculty formation, service education, scientific research and athletics. In the last three decades, it has become the largest private high school in the state, raised over $40 million, and saw its endowment grow from $.8 million to $20 million. During the recent financial downturn, the school has been able to increase enrollment, expand financial aid by 25%, and run a surplus. Because of the school’s success, Jack has been asked to consult with many schools, from highly successful to fragile, from long-established to start-ups
