The Millwoods Christian School Society functions as the liaison between Calvary Community Church (CCC) and the Edmonton Public School Board. The two primary areas the board is responsible for are facilities and the Christian content of the school.
The board can have up to 10 members, of whom more than 50% must also be members of CCC. Each member commits to a one-year term which may be renewed on an annual basis.
If you are interested in becoming a board member, please contact Michelle Yarmuch (myarmuch@calvarycommunity.ca) for an application.
