Our Board
Independent School trusteeship is a position of leadership, honor and responsibility. The Board, working very closely with the Head of School, has the ultimate responsibilty for maintaining the integrity, standing reputation and the future direction of the School. The Board keeps its eye on the mission of the School while it manages the changes and challenges that are part of institutional life. With guidance from the Head, the Board is responsible for setting policy. The Board is made up of parents, educators and friends in the community. The members of the Board, who serve as volunteers, support the School through their hard work, wisdom, and financial resources.

The Board has standing committees, including the Committee on Trustees, Development, Educational and Religious Policy, Executive, Finance, High School Education, Personnel, Investment and Audit. In addition, committees can be created to respond to particular needs. Certain of the above listed committees welcome members who are not on the Board.
