Governance

Dear friends,

It is my honor to serve as president of the Meadowbrook School board of trustees. Being board president, in fact, is just one in a long line of roles I have held at Meadowbrook. For the past number of  years, I have been a trustee. I am the parent of two graduates and a current student (’18, ’18, and ’23). I am an alumnus myself, graduating from sixth grade in 1981. And I first joined Meadowbrook nearly 50 years ago as a student in what was then called the nursery class.  

A lot has changed since then. Nursery became JK. New buildings have gone up, teachers have come and gone, and Meadowbrook now has an extraordinary middle school. Despite all these changes, the most important aspects of the Meadowbrook experience have remained the same. We have amazing teachers who know and love our children. We have an intentional and innovative curriculum at all levels that is ahead of our peers and second to none. Importantly, we are a community that equally values academic excellence and each other. 

As a leading independent day school, Meadowbrook will always be moving forward, breaking new ground, improving programs, developing the greatest teachers, and growing our diverse community. As board president, I am thrilled to work with all our trustees to support the administration and faculty in undertaking these significant and ongoing efforts.

I appreciate all that Meadowbrook has given to me and my family over the years, and I look forward to seeing what Meadowbrook can bring to generations of new families in the decades to come.

Best regards,

Chris Austen
Board President
