Board of Trustees

As an independent school, Lowcountry Prep is governed by a Board of Trustees whose members serve the school on a voluntary basis.

To sustain the School and its mission, the Board identifies and studies issues and challenges that will impact the School, then forms policies to address those issues. This is accomplished through a system of standing committees, as well as strategic committees, which focus on specific areas of interest and governance in order to enhance the Lowcountry Prep experience.
 
The School’s Trustees are parents of current students, alumni, and members of the external Pawleys Island community, representing varied skills and perspectives. All share a deep, personal commitment to the School and its future. Board members normally serve three-year terms and are eligible to serve up to two consecutive terms.
