Strategic Plan Paper

“Simply put, strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it’s going to get there and how it’ll know if it got there or not” (McNamara, 2008).

Liberty Christian School will distinguish between strategy and tactics and apply its strategic choice to achieve its long-term objectives.
