Board of Trustees

Our School Board & Governance

Our Board of Trustees and Executive Directors are volunteers and partners in carrying out the mission of Oak Hill School to ensure that students receive the best-possible education. We also have a variety of board committees made up of volunteers who focus on specific aspects of the school, such as development, facilities, finances and governance.

Board of Trustees & Executive Directors

Our Board of Trustees and Executive Directors help ensure our school’s success, working as a team with our school’s administration. The Board of Trustees is focused on the school’s sustainability, while our Executive Directors support the long-term implementation of the board’s strategic vision.
