GOVERNANCE:

Veritas Christian Academy of Houston is governed by parents through a board of trustees elected by parents. Veritas does not discriminate on the basis of race, color or national or ethnic origin in admitting students; in its administration; in its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, or in its athletic and other administrated programs. 

The board hires the head of school and the head of school is the CEO of the organization and is responsible for the day to day operation of the school and for hiring the rest of the faculty and staff.

All governance flows from the Statement of Faith, which is a summary of the essentials of the Christian faith. It serves as the standard by which all board members and staff are selected and maintained. The Statement of Faith cannot be amended. The corporation will instantly be dissolved if the board or administration should act contrary to the tenets of the Statement of Faith. This provision guards the purity of the school and protects parents and staff.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES:

An excerpt of the Veritas bylaws concerning the qualifications of trustees:

“All Trustees must read, understand, accept, sign and display lives consistent with the principles contained in the Statement of Faith contained in Article Five of the Articles of Incorporation for the Corporation. Members of the Board of Trustees should be active members of a local church. In all cases, the demonstrated Christian profession and lifestyle of the individual Trustee shall be a major consideration as to his/her suitability as Trustees. All Trustees must demonstrate expertise valuable to the Corporation, commitment to Christian education as defined by the Corporation’s Mission Statement, and should be servant leaders.”

If you have any questions about board governance or would like more information, please feel free to contact our Board President Charles Simpson through the school office.
