Board of Trustees

The Countryside Day School Board of Trustees is a diverse group who bring a variety of backgrounds, business expertise and life experiences to the job. The group includes business leaders, community leaders and parents of alum, and alumni. Each trustee is personally invested in and committed to helping us achieve our mission. This shared commitment helps them work together to create a viable strategic vision for the school and ensure our stability and financial health as Countryside continues to grow and evolve.
