The St. Clair Catholic School Board set specific goals for the past year and the director of education says the board met them.
Director Dan Parr says setting out objectives and a plan to reach them has helped raise academic standards.

Parr says his annual report to the board was presented recently and concentrated on reaching benchmarks in a number of areas.
