Board of Trustees

Strategic Stewards of Our School’s Future

Thank you for your interest in the Westside Neighborhood School Board of Trustees. The WNS Board plays a vital role in shaping the long-term vision and health of our school. Our work includes:

  • Strategic planning to ensure the school’s continued growth and relevance

  • Oversight of financial sustainability and stewardship

  • Selection, support, and evaluation of the Head of School

  • Fundraising to strengthen our mission and enrich our programs

Each trustee brings a deep commitment to WNS, contributing their time, expertise, and passion through Board service, committee work, and advocacy on behalf of the school.

I am deeply proud of the WNS Board of Trustees. The diverse experiences and perspectives each member brings enrich our conversations and strengthen our decisions. Their knowledge, dedication, and partnership are essential to advancing the WNS mission while remaining grounded in our core values.

With gratitude,
Lara Clarke
