Board Leadership

The Trinity School Board of Trustees is made up of 13-23 elected individuals. In addition, a representative of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church and the Head of School serve as ex officio members. The bylaws of the Board of Trustees require trustees to be interested in independent school education, citizens and/or legal residents of the United States, and over the age of twenty-five years. Each trustee must hold as vitally important the value of the Episcopal heritage of Trinity School and uphold the School’s daily chapel program.

The Board operates according to the principles of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). Much of the work of the Board is accomplished in standing committees, which include board members as well as other members of the community, as needed. Standing committees include Advancement, Executive, Finance, and Governance. Occasionally, an ad hoc committee is formed for a particular purpose, such as strategic planning.

The Board of Trustees exists to create plans, set policies, and make decisions that will ensure the vitality of the institutional mission for current and future generations of students. The Board comprises volunteers from both within the school and outside the school community.

Trustee responsibilities include:

Support of the school's mission, philosophy and longevity
Fiduciary responsibility
Selecting, supporting, and evaluating the Head of School
Representing the school and networking for the school

The Board of Trustees acknowledges that its duties involve governance, not management. The Board entrusts all of the daily operations of the school to the Head of School, who supervises and evaluates all programs and personnel. The Head of School is the final arbiter of any disputes that may arise in the day-to-day operations of the school.
