Board of Trustees Application

Welcome! We are so excited about your interest in joining Hilltop Academy's Board of Trustees!

VISION

Our vision is to open opportunities and access for students, families, educators, and communities to experience our model of education which honors the hero in every child on their chosen pathway to a life of purpose.

MISSION

We are on a mission to forge a powerful, innovative, and transformative model of education that emboldens and prepares students for life, college, service, trade, and/or career through natural and holistic, simplistic yet rigorous, relevant and engaging learning practices, and through the strong ties we build with our families and communities.

Nondiscriminatory Policy

It is our mission to guard and protect the diversity of our Hilltop Community- those we serve and lead and those who lead and serve.

We are an equal opportunity employer, board, and corporation and we strongly encourage people with diverse backgrounds and identities to apply. Frequently cited statistics show that structurally marginalized groups apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications, while most candidates will never meet them all. We encourage you to apply and change that statistic!

The officers, committee members, employees, and persons served by this corporation shall be selected entirely on a non-discriminatory basis with respect to age, sex, race, religion, national origin, and sexual orientation. It is the policy of Hilltop Academy Inc. not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, ancestry, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical disability, veteran status, political service or affiliation, color, religion, or national origin.

Conflict of Interest

All starred items are required. If the question is not applicable, please indicate with "NA".

A conflict of interest occurs when a trustee has a personal interest that may influence them when making decisions. Each year, every trustee is required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. There are 4 encompassing conflicts: financial conflict (business interests, fiduciary duties, professional duties), non-financial conflict (professional duties, legal obligations), conflict of roles (professional duties, loyalty to family/friends), or predetermination (mindset). An example of this is if a trustee elicits donors/sponsors from our established donor/sponsor base for their own business. Nepotism is another example.

Please describe any conflicts of interest you would need to disclose if you joined the Board: *
