91吃瓜网 is governed by a dedicated group of alumni volunteers who bring diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and a deep commitment to the school鈥檚 mission. The Trustees provide strategic oversight of听the school, ensuring strong leadership, sound financial stewardship, and responsible management of campus resources to uphold Exeter鈥檚 tradition of excellence and leadership in secondary education.
Currently, there are 21 trustees. The group consists of the principal, who is appointed by the Trustees and serves as a member for the duration of their tenure; 17 term trustees, who serve one or two five-year appointments; and the president and two vice presidents of the Exeter Alumni Association (EAA), who are elected by that association鈥檚 directors. These EAA-elected trustees serve one or two terms of two years.
Term trustees are chosen for their passion for Exeter鈥檚 mission, belief in education鈥檚 transformative power and dedication to shaping the school鈥檚 future. While many generously support Exeter philanthropically, financial capacity is not a selection criterion. Collectively, the Trustees bring a breadth of leadership, governance expertise and specialized professional knowledge. Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives strengthen the Trustees’ collective decision-making, thereby sustaining and advancing Exeter for generations to come.
