San Miguel School Board of Directors

The board members of THE SAN MIGUEL SCHOOL of Camden oversee the moral, spiritual, fiscal, and programmatic aspects of the school. These men and women are appointed by the Members because they understand the missions of THE SAN MIGUEL SCHOOL of Camden and the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Our board members are experts in their professional lives who bring their wealth of experience to benefit the school’s mission. They are excited to share the many accomplishments of the school to their constituents and to be an untiring advocate on behalf of the school.

Each board member serves a three year term and can be renewed once for a total term of six years. The Board meets four times a year at school. Currently the board is divided into three sub-committees: development/trusteeship, finance, and strategic planning. As the board grows, an education and marketing/public relations sub-committee will be added. Each board member is expected to provide a financial donation to the school, according to his/her means.
