Board of Visitors
Purpose
The Board of Visitors at Cannon School brings a talented group of volunteer leaders together twice a year to discuss with each other and with Head of School Christopher Jones the key strategic issues facing the school and the surrounding area.
Key Strategic Objectives for Cannon School:
- Academic Success – How does Cannon School continue to grow as the premier independent school in our region and also as a top school in the entire Charlotte region and the southeast? How does Cannon School do an even better job of preparing students to contribute to and lead in a world that is ever-changing?
- Community Outreach – How does Cannon School strengthen its role and relationships in the various communities it serves?
