Board

The Board of Directors

In simplest terms the GRACE board has 3 primary duties: guard the school's mission, set policies that work toward the mission's fulfillment, and devise the means and strategies to fund the school. By way of contrast, the Head of School (or Administrator) leads and directs the day-to-day affairs of GRACE and implements the general policies established by the board.

The current board at GRACE recently overhauled our mission statement:

"GRACE Christian School is a loving community that spiritually and academically equips, challenges and inspires students to impact their world for Christ."

The mission statement is the prism through which all policies considered by the board must first be evaluated. It is a reminder of who we are, whom we serve, what we do, how we do it, and why we do it. Policies that meet this standard will honor God and further our mission.

Board structure at GRACE consists of at least 6 voting members and 2 administrators sitting ex-officio. The board typically meets monthly with an all-day strategic planning session in the summer, but can call other meetings as needed. Board service is a demanding, challenging, humbling and rewarding commitment. Board terms are 3 years. Members can serve 2 consecutive terms but then must take a year off before serving again.

The qualifications and procedures for nomination to the board are detailed in the by-laws (available upon request at the GRACE office). If you or someone you know would be a qualified candidate for board service at GRACE, please pray for God's leading and then contact a current board member or consult the by-laws for the process of nomination.
