The Christ School is governed by a Board of Trustees and the Head of School. The Board of Trustees is a volunteer group that includes current and past parents and grandparents and others close to the school mission. The Board keeps their eyes on the big picture and offers the expertise and vision necessary to keep the school’s mission alive and healthy for generations of TCS students and families to come.
Board members serve three year terms and meet bi-monthly. Standing committees meet frequently throughout the year and include governance, Head support and development, development, strategic planning, and finance.
The Head of School serves as the school’s Chief Executive Officer and is responsible for implementing Board policy, hiring faculty and professional staff, and the daily operational management of the school.
