For information about the qualifications and duties of Board members, please go to the member's password-protected area of the website, enter the passcode, and locate the Bylaws (under Documents).
The Board Nomination process can be summarized as follows: Members submit Board Nominations during a nomination period. Those nominations are then turned over to a Nomination Committee comprised of a former Board member, the Principal, and current or past members of our volunteer leadership team. Together, this committee meets with qualified nominees and then passes along their recommendations to the full Board. The Board will then proceed to interview potential candidates based on the committee’s recommendations.
The nomination process runs from January 29th through February 28th with the goal of completing the Nomination Committee meetings by March 11th and the Board interviews by the end of March.
Please send your nominations to HCSboard@hcssd.org and principal@hcssd.org. You do not need to confirm the interest of the nominee to submit their name (though you are certainly welcome to do so). The committee will reach out and let the nominee know they have been nominated and determine whether or not they want to proceed.
Your role as members is absolutely vital in this process. We are looking to you to bring forth men who you believe share our passion and vision for Heritage Christian School. We hope that you will take some time to think through at least one or two nominations. Self-nominations are also welcomed.
The HCS Board of Directors meets monthly at 6pm. The locations alternate between The school office on odd months and Del Cerro Baptist Church on even months. Check the school calendar for the exact date. Members may attend general board meetings; kindly RSVP to HCSboard@hcssd.org if you will be attending.
To discuss a specific issue (other than what is on the agenda for the night already) please submit your request in advance to HCSboard@hcssd.org to be placed on the agenda for a future meeting.
Congratulations to Darren Jones, Jake Womack, and Leo Acosta for winning the “HCS Men’s Golf Tournament” held March 25, 2023 at Admiral Baker Golf Course in San Diego.
Sponsored by the HCS Board, the golf tournament was a time of fellowship for HCS dads and a fundraiser for the HCS Tuition Relief Fund.
The Board will be planning some more casual men’s events in the future, including some "golf for fun” and prayer breakfasts.
Mike is the Senior Pastor at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Escondido. He has a communications degree from Whitworth University and a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Seminary.
Together, Jake and Allissa have committed themselves to homeschooling their children. Both being products of public school, Allissa in Davison, MI and Jake in San Diego, CA, they recognize and understand the importance of parents taking on the responsibility of teaching their children. Allissa was a kindergarten teacher, but has since answered the Lord’s call for her to teach her own children and to ensure that they receive a Christ-centered education. They are starting their second year with Heritage Christian Schools.
Jake has been a credentialed English teacher for San Diego Unified for 14 years and has seen first hand the positives and negatives of public school. Jake is currently the Dean of Students at an A-Typical school within SDUSD, and he sees the role of the family being active in a student's education more important than ever before.
