Board of directors
The Cross Christian School’s Board of Directors serves as the governing body responsible for providing strategic leadership, ensuring financial stewardship, and safeguarding the school’s mission and long-term sustainability. The board establishes policies, oversees the school’s legal and fiduciary responsibilities, approves budgets, and supports the Administrators in achieving educational and organizational goals. While the board does not manage the school’s day-to-day operations, it works to ensure that all decisions, programs, and practices align with The Cross Christian School’s values, statement of faith, and educational mission. Through prayerful leadership, accountability, and vision casting, the Board of Directors helps foster a strong Christ-centered environment that promotes academic excellence, spiritual growth, and the overall well-being of students, faculty, and families.
