Dedication
Meet our Board of Trustees
With a passion for innovation and a dedication to excellence, we bring diverse expertise to every project we undertake.
At Rolling Hills Prep, our Board of Trustees plays a vital role in ensuring the school’s long-term success. As an independent school accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS), and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), we operate with the freedom to shape our mission and educational approach. The board provides strategic oversight, ensuring financial stability, strong leadership, and adherence to our core values while allowing the school’s administration to manage daily operations.
Independent schools have a long tradition of governance by dedicated boards that focus on sustainability and mission-driven decision-making. At Rolling Hills Prep, our board of trustees leads the strategic planning process, setting long-term goals and anticipating future challenges. This process ensures that we maintain high academic standards, enhance student programs, and remain responsive to the evolving educational landscape while staying true to our founding principles.
Accreditation is a critical aspect of our commitment to excellence, requiring the board to oversee a thorough evaluation of the school’s governance, academics, and operations. While the board sets direction and policy, it actively seeks community input through surveys, advisory committees, and open forums. This balance allows the board to guide the school effectively without micromanaging, ensuring that Rolling Hills Prep remains a dynamic, innovative, and student-focused institution.
