Board of Directors

Drew’s governance structure is carefully designed to ensure the school upholds its mission, vision, and purpose while achieving excellent outcomes for students. The composition of the Drew board reflects diverse areas of expertise including finance, human resources, education, community development, and law. Under this structure, Drew has been able to assemble the resources, human capital and managerial skills necessary to operate an excellent school. The governing board sets policy, provides financial over-sight, and evaluates the Head of School. A rigorous strategic planning process, which occurs every five years, sets the direction of the school.
