St. Mark's School Board
The mission of the St. Mark's School Board is to define policies and assist in the governance of Catholic education at our school.
St. Mark's School is guided by a School Board of five to seven members who advise the principal and the pastor of St. Mark's Catholic Community, who holds ultimate authority over school operations. The Board provides guidance on budget development, tuition, and policies in alignment with Diocese of Boise guidelines. Members are elected to two-year terms.
