Leadership and Trustees

Seacrest Country Day School is guided by experienced leadership and governed by a dedicated Board of Trustees — each committed to advancing the School’s mission and ensuring its long-term strength.

School Leadership

Seacrest’s administrative leadership team is responsible for the day-to-day stewardship of the School. Working closely with faculty and staff, they support academic excellence, student well-being, and the continued development of a dynamic PK–12 learning environment rooted in intellectual engagement and character formation.

Their focus remains clear: to lead with integrity, foster collaboration, and ensure that every student is known, challenged, and prepared for lives of significance.

Board of Trustees

As an independent school, Seacrest Country Day School is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees. The Board is charged with safeguarding the School’s mission and guiding its long-term strategic direction.

Trustees are responsible for:

  • Long-range strategic planning
  • Financial stewardship and oversight
  • Policy development and governance
  • Ensuring institutional sustainability

The Board does not manage the day-to-day operations of the School; rather, it works in partnership with School leadership to ensure alignment with Seacrest’s mission and core values.

Our Trustees include current parents, alumni parents, alumni, and community leaders — all united by a shared commitment to preserving Seacrest’s legacy and strengthening its future.
