Board of Trustees

Mission and Function

The Board of Trustees’ mission is to take action on behalf of the next generation of students. The Board meets at least six times a year and works extensively in between meetings through its committee structure. Current committees include Executive, Finance, Risk Management, Development, and Head Support and Evaluation. Buildings & Grounds, Marketing, and the Permanent Endowment Fund. 
 

To ensure they bring proven practices and insights to their roles, our trustees actively engage in professional development through respected independent school support organizations. These efforts equip trustees to contribute effectively to the school’s long-term planning and success.
 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our trustees, past and present, for their steadfast dedication and the transformative impact they have made on our school and its future.
 

Composition

St. Luke’s Episcopal School is a vital ministry of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.  The school is governed by a Board of Trustees that endeavors to maintain a close, healthy, working relationship with the vestry, clergy, administration, and members of the Church.  The Board is ultimately accountable to the vestry of the church.

The composition of the Board is complex; it is comprised of both church and non-church representatives.  The church representatives have one more voting member than non-church representatives. Terms of service are either one year (appointed) or three years (elected) and can be renewed.
