Exceptional Volunteers

The Commission on Independent Schools relies on volunteers to serve on visiting committees to schools undergoing evaluations. Without these volunteers, CIS could not assess, maintain, and improve upon the quality of accredited schools.

CIS would especially like to acknowledge the following evaluators who have generously contributed their time and expertise by serving on ten or more visiting committees. A big THANK YOU to all of them!
