The School Board

Our school board is a self-perpetuating entity nominating and electing new members to serve one year terms. These dedicated leaders not only provide direction in fiscal matters but provide spiritual guidance to the school and its leadership as well. To maintain a balanced perspective, members represent several church denominations and professional backgrounds. Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at 3:30 pm in the school library. Parents who wish to be on the agenda, please contact the school secretary prior to the meeting.
