Board of Directors
PUCS is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of parents, community leaders, and business professionals. The Board meets bimonthly to provide accountability and guidance regarding vision, budget, and educational priorities.
The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing policies, approving budgets, overseeing the raising of scholarship and operating funds, managing staff contracts, finalizing class sizes, and the monitoring of the overall direction of the school. The PUCS Association approves board members.
