Board of Trustees

At Meridian, our dedicated Board of Trustees plays a pivotal role in shaping the school's vision and ensuring its success. With a dynamic team of community members, our Board works to uphold the school's academic and fiscal integrity of governance. Meridian’s Board is composed of three (3) to fifteen (15) community members, including the Executive Director who serves as a non-voting member. The majority of Board members must be District of Columbia residents and includes two (2) or more parents of current Meridian students.

Each Board member brings unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table, contributing to the rich fabric of our school community. You can learn more about each of our board members below.
