Board of Trustees

Green Hedges School is a non-profit corporation, managed by a Board of Trustees. The Board is comprised of between 12 – 18 members. It strives to reflect diversity and its members may include alumni, current parents, past parents, individuals from the broader community, and educators from other area schools all who bring particular expertise and perspective.

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the School is operating in accordance with its mission statement. It is also responsible for ensuring the long-term viability of the School, and for hiring and overseeing the performance of the Head. The day-to-day operations of the School are the responsibility of the Head.

The GHS Board conducts its operations in accordance with the Principles of Good Practice promulgated by the National Association of Independent Schools.

Members may serve two (2) three-year terms. Requests for trustee nominations to fill Board vacancies are made each year and the Committee on Trustees then selects its candidates based on a set of specific criteria and presents a slate to the full Board for election in the spring. The full Board meets approximately nine times over the course of the school year.

Committees of the Board of Trustees currently include the Executive, Finance, Development, Committee on Trustees, and Strategic Planning. In any given year task forces may be created to address other strategic issues.

The GHS Board conducts its operations in accordance with the Principles of Good Practice promulgated by the National Association of Independent Schools. The Board’s operations are also reviewed as part of periodic assessments conducted by the Virginia Association of Independent Schools.
