Education Commission of Advisors

The St. Edward High School Education Commission of Advisors is a group of dedicated alumni, parents, educators, and community leaders who support St. Edward Central Catholic High School in fulfilling its mission as a Catholic educational ministry of the Diocese of Rockford.
