BOARD OF TRUSTEES
In alignment with the National Association of
Independent Schools (NAIS) Principles of Good
Practice, the primary focus of the Board of Trustees
is on long-range and strategic issues, not the daily
operations of the School.
The Board is a steward of the School’s mission,
ensuring the vision and strategic goals are relevant
and fulfilled within the community. This includes
overseeing the annual operating budget, capital
assets, and endowment to ensure financial sustainability for the institution and actively aiding the
School in fundraising.
