Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (known locally as the Collegedale Academy School Board) is a group of individuals invested in seeing that Collegedale Academy (Elementary, Middle & High) provide great education. The Board members are Georgia-Cumberland conference executives, elected representatives and pastors from these seven, constituent Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Churches which provide consistent, financial support to Collegedale Academy including: Collegedale Community Church, Collegedale SDA Church, Collegedale Spanish-American Church, Hamilton Community Church, Hispanic Community SDA Church, Impact Church, and McDonald Road SDA Church.

Purpose

The primary purpose for the board is to oversee the “big picture” for the Collegedale Academy particularly as it relates to meeting the mission and vision of the system as well as to ensure sustainability into the future.  The building principals give reports and updates from their schools.  There are several sub-committees that also give reports including the finance, personnel, policy, and home and school association.

At present, the Collegedale Academy board is involved in a strategic planning initiative that began during the 2012-2013 and is on going. The Collegedale Academy strategic plan will be the roadmap for future growth and development of the system.
