Meet Our Trustees

MEET OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Highland School's Board of Trustees is made up of volunteers who bring a wide range of backgrounds and skills to their positions on the board. Board members include Highland alumni, current parents, past parents, and members of the local community. 
Every trustee shares a commitment to the vision of Highland School as the region's best independent school. To bring this vision to reality, the board provides Highland's students with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to find themselves and the world around them in a challenging academic environment that is also supportive, engaging, and friendly.
 

Provides long-term direction for the school

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the long-term direction of Highland School. Working directly with our Head of School, the Board sets the long-term vision and strategy and ensures sound financial management, proper stewardship of resources, and accountability toward future goals. The Board is also responsible for the selection, evaluation and support of Highland School’s Head of School.
