As trustees, our overriding mission is to hold this wonderful school in trust for our children’s children. This mission is vital to the future of Wilson . . . Steven Goldstein, past president emeritus of the Board of Trustees

The Wilson School Board of Trustees is composed of current parents and grandparents, alumni, parents and grandparents of former students, and unaffiliated friends who willingly volunteer their wisdom, time and energy to the school. Currently, the board has 18 voting members, the maximum number according to the by-laws and five emeritus trustees. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance of The Wilson School and establishes the school’s fiscal and educational policies. It hires and evaluates only one employee — the Head of School. The trustees are guided by the school’s mission statement and the long-range strategic plan. Most of the board’s work is accomplished through committees, and many trustees serve on two or three committees. There are seven standing committees: Building and Grounds, Development, Education, Finance, Long-Range Planning, Trustee Affairs, and Tuition Assistance.

The Wilson School Board of Trustees is committed to maintaining academic excellence, attracting and retaining outstanding teachers and administrators, and promoting diversity in the student body, faculty, administration, and in the board itself.
