The Board of Trustees is charged with guiding and sustaining our school into the future. While the Head of School oversees daily management of the school – the curriculum, teachers, and student well-being – the board focuses on the bigger picture:
- Mission & Vision: Safeguarding our school’s mission and ensuring it continues to reflect the needs of our students and families
- Strategic Planning: Setting long-term goals and priorities for the future of WMS
- Financial Stewardship: Approving the budget, supporting fundraising, assessing risk, and ensuring the school remains in good financial standing
- Leadership: Hiring, supporting, and evaluating the Head of School
It is the board’s job to make sure the school is fulfilling its mission for many years to come and has what it needs to do so.
