About
Valley Lutheran High School is governed by a 17-member Board of Directors. Each member association congregation selects one individual to serve on the board. In addition, one pastor of an association member congregation and one teacher from an association member school are selected by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors sets the school’s long-term direction through strategic planning (see the current plan here) and addressing issues that impact the school’s future. In recent years, the board has established standards for measuring progress in the school’s academic program, monitored and established plans to ensure the school’s financial sustainability, and identified and implemented a multi-year marketing campaign.
The Board of Directors meets monthly and holds an annual meeting each May that is open to the public. The board is organized into four standing committees: The Executive Committee, the Educational Excellence Committee, the Finance and Resources Committee, and the Campus Life and Communications Committee.
