Cornerstone's Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees at Cornerstone Chartered Public School serves as the foundation of the school’s mission, providing leadership and oversight to ensure the success of its students, educators, and community. As the governing body, the Board is responsible for upholding the school’s vision, overseeing financial and operational decisions, and supporting Cornerstone’s continued growth and excellence.
​
The Trustees bring diverse expertise in education, finance, business, technology, and community leadership. They are united by a shared commitment to creating strong readers, thinkers, and leaders. While not all Trustees come from educational backgrounds, each contributes unique insights and strengths that support the school’s development and long-term success.
​
The Board is dedicated to providing families in the Upper Valley with a high-quality, tuition-free public school option that prioritizes literacy, critical thinking, and academic excellence. Cornerstone Charter School’s content-rich, knowledge-building curriculum, delivered by Orton-Gillingham-certified educators, ensures that every student receives a strong foundation in literacy and learning.
​
Through its leadership, the Board works to empower students, support educators, and strengthen the community, ensuring that every child has access to an exceptional education that prepares them for future success.

Co-Founder & Director
“Literacy is more than the ability to read—it is the key to confidence, independence, and a lifetime of learning. As a leader, I am committed to building a school where every child is empowered with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to succeed. Equally important is fostering a culture where educators feel valued, supported, and equipped to make a lasting impact. When we invest in strong readers and strong educators, we create strong thinkers, problem-solvers, and future leaders.”
