Board of Trustees
Courageous, enlightened leadership is essential to the vitality and well-being of Nazareth Academy High School. A culture that fosters leadership and actively involves every member of the community contributes to the success of the institution. The collaborative efforts and intentions of those most invested in Nazareth— from the Board of Trustees, to the alumnae, parents, faculty/staff, and students — are what comprise the energy, goodness, and excellence of the school.
Each member of the Board of Trustees is deeply committed to the school’s mission, values, and traditions. Nazareth is fortunate to have an active board whose trustees dedicate themselves to upholding and strengthening the school’s focus on embracing faith, family and education.
