Consortium Board of Directors
The six Consortium schools are collaborative, diverse and innovative, and our board of directors reflects the same qualities. Their collective prior involvement with school boards and Archdiocese of Omaha committees, as well as their professional experience, all help make the Consortium's success possible.
