Our Board

Board of Trustees

KEY's board of directors supports the school's mission to prepare students with the academic, intellectual, and character skills necessary for success in high school, college, and the competitive world beyond. This common bond of high expectations unites the directors to support KIPP DC teachers and families. KEY directors support the school with their gifts of time and professional expertise. As well, all directors have made monetary contributions for the past two years. More then half of the directors reside in the District, two are parents of current students, and two are teacher representatives.
