Preparing For A Dynamic Future

Building on the Past to Prepare for a Better Tomorrow

The Colorado Springs Schools' 60th anniversary not only celebrates the accomplishments of our school, faculty, and alumni over the past six decades but also leaves an opportunity for reflection on the ways in which we can prepare our institution for an exciting and fruitful tomorrow. To position our school for another 60 years or longer will require continued philanthropy and engagement from CSS alumni, past parents, current families, faculty, staff, Board members, and the greater Colorado Springs community.

On this page, you’ll find CSS's 2022 State of the School Address, and learn more about The Colorado Springs School's current Board of Trustees as well as ongoing restricted giving campaigns aimed at restoring some of CSS's most beloved buildings and programs as we enter our 60th year. Should you have any questions about the ways in which you can help us sustain our school for another 60 years, please contact the CSS Advancement Office.

Meet the Board

Meet the Board

The Board and the Head of School work in partnership to fulfill the mission of CSS. Board responsibilities include ensuring financial stability, establishing policy, hiring, evaluating, and supporting the Head of School, establishing a strategic plan, and ensuring the school is meeting its mission and goals. Its work is primarily long-range and strategic. The Board of Trustees is also responsible for ensuring that the school operates in the best interests of its students, teachers, staff, and parents. Many trustees are parents of students at CSS; others are alumnae/i, parents of alums, grandparents, and members of our community at large. The Head of School and one faculty member are ex-officio members.
