Lake County Catholic School Network President Chosen

News of the Diocese

February 3, 2025

Barbara Mancari has been selected as the president of the Lake County Catholic School Network, LLC, effective Feb. 2.

Mancari currently serves as the operations manager of All Saints School of St. John Vianney, in addition to being an adjunct professor of business at Lakeland Community College since 2017. She has an undergraduate degree in management/systems engineering from the United State Military Academy West Point and a graduate degree from Franklin University in public administration.

Mancari served for five years as an engineer officer in the U.S. Army, specializing in budget oversight, contract and materials management, construction and logistics. After leaving the Army, she owned and operated her own business, taught middle school math, science and computer education, and later became the veterans program coordinator at Lakeland Community College. Most recently, Mancari served for five years as a strategic marketing/SEO lead consultant for both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors.

“We have an incredible opportunity ahead of us to work collaboratively with the six parishes in western Lake County to advance the mission of Catholic education and ensure its continued success for generations to come,” Mancari said.

“I am excited to work with All Saints and Mater Dei in my new capacity, to continue the work they are already doing to provide a faith-filled and academically excellent education to our students," she added.

Father John Betters, Bishop Edward Malesic's liaison to the Keeping the Faith Strategic Plan for Catholic Elementary Education, said, “I am so excited to have Barb join the LCCSN and take on this groundbreaking role of bringing six parishes together to operate two schools. She is a devoted Catholic mother with a passion for education and formation of children in the ways of faith. She brings a gentle, yet confident spirit that will serve this new endeavor well.”

Mancari lives in Mentor with her husband and has six children.
