Trinity School – Head of School – Position Statement 5
ADMINISTRATION, FACULTY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Trinity School senior administration consists of the Head of School, the Academic Dean, the Lower Campus Director, the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Admissions, the Technology Director and the Technology Integrator. The administrative staff is lean, yet it is a collaborative one, and each member is dedicated to the mission and philosophy of the school.
Faculty and staff at Trinity are truly devoted to the school and to its students and their families. Teachers relish the freedom to create their classroom and work environments, to use their imaginations to engage students, and to express their opinions freely to each other and to the administration. In keeping with Trinity’ s open style, teachers value intellectual freedom and the classroom autonomy that the school promotes. Teachers use their creativity to engage students and to help them become lifelong learners. At the same time, the strong teacherstudent relationships make it easy for teachers to encourage students to take risks and to develop their talents.
Teachers work collaboratively in an effort to be consistent across grade levels. The faculty is supportive of school-wide initiatives, evidenced by their commitment to professional development, innovation in their classrooms, and their participation in allschool events and activities.
The 19-member Board of Trustees is devoted and committed to the long-term health of the institution. It is composed of the rectors of Trinity Church and St. Bede’ s Episcopal Church, three parishioners from each parish, nine at-large members,( one of whom is the president of the Trinity Parents Association), the head of school and an outside educator. Partnering with the administration of the school, much has been accomplished in the last few years, including the adoption of a strategic plan, a clear church / school use agreement, the preparation for administrative / leadership change, and full term CAIS, WASC and NAEYC accreditations. The school also benefits from the strong working relationship between the head of school and the board.
