Governance
The Board of Embers Academy seeks to sustain and enrich our mission of academic excellence and character formation.
Governance
Embers Academy is governed by an independent, self-perpetuating Board of Directors. The Board determines the school philosophy and mission; sets broad policies; is responsible for the fiduciary well-being of the school and its long-term health; and hires the Headmaster. The Board is not involved in the day-to-day operation of the school. The current Board President is Mr. Sam Carter.
The Headmaster executes and administers Board-approved school policies; is responsible for all school personnel and all academic and extracurricular programs; is the final authority in all matters of discipline; and assesses the effectiveness of the operations and programs of the school. Mr. Christopher Goffos is our Headmaster.
