THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Severn School is fortunate to have caring, concerned, and committed individuals serving in a completely voluntary capacity as trustees to the School. 
 
The Board of Trustees exists to perpetuate the educational mission and philosophy of Severn School. It has fiduciary responsibilities and implements the School's vision through the strategic planning process. 
 
Trustees are non-paid members of the School community with varied expertise. They do not hear complaints, set curriculum, hire or supervise faculty (other than the head of school), determine individual faculty salaries, or in any way intervene in daily operations. The Board supports the School and its leadership and seeks to advance both.
