Board of Trustees

The board of trustees of EDS is a group of individuals, all of whom are deeply committed to the future of the school. Together, they are positioning EDS to continue being an exceptional educational opportunity in the area for the next generation of students. Consistently, discussions about the future of the school are always framed by the question, “Will this decision allow EDS to continue to realize its mission of engaging the mind, body, and spirit of every student?” Collectively, the board has one employee, the head of school. They charge the head of school with managing the day-to-day operations of the school. These should be shared with the head of school. Trustees are elected for a three year terms, which can be renewed once. Trustees offer unique skills and interests to the board, and to the school as a whole. It is anticipated that the current board will write a new strategic plan in the next 2-3 years. The board meets each month during the school year. Parents who are interested in being considered for board service should write a letter of introduction and address it to:  Chair, Committee on Trustees. This expression of interest can be submitted to the staff in the main office of EDS.
