 | MICDS International Board of Visitors
The MICDS International Board of Visitors was founded in 1998 – with Senator Jack Danforth ’54 serving as inaugural Chair – to educate its members about the strengths, advantages and values of the Mission, programs and future plans of MICDS in an effort to allow the Visitors the ability to offer counsel to the Head of School and support the work of MICDS. The Board is composed of 25 – 35 prominent alumni who live outside the St. Louis region and is currently chaired by Mark Militello ’80.
On October 21 – 22, 2010, the International Board of Visitors tackled the topic: Positioning MICDS as a Leader in a Competitive Marketplace. The goal of the session was for the Visitors to provide Head of School Lisa Lyle with sound advice and counsel about marketing MICDS as it pertains to our admissions process, academics and community inclusiveness. During the session Visitors met with administrators, faculty, parents and students. Their recommendations have been presented to the MICDS Board of Trustees.
Other topics that have been studied by the Board of Visitors include:
- The MICDS 2009 -2014 Strategic Plan
- Preparing MICDS students to be compassionate global citizens
- A comprehensive Library/Learning Center to enhance JK-12ness
- Diversity
- Parent Partnerships
- The impact of Culture on Teaching and Learning
- Learning about the Upper School
- The Arts
- Athletics
- The 2000 – 2005 Strategic Plan
- Finding a balance with new school/old schools, excellence/community, governance/management.
- Connecting the ethical and the intellectual in the School’s Mission
