Tiller School has a Board of Directors which set policy and govern the school.  They are parents and other people from the community who are interested in making Tiller School a wonderful experience for each child and their families. 

The Board of Directors meets monthly, typically the third Wednesday of each month in the Assembly building.  Agendas are posted 10 days prior to the meeting in the main office. All meetings are open to the public and begin at 6:30. 

Members are selected from candidates who apply for these voluntary positions at our end of year meeting.  They are elected for 2 or 3 year terms.  If you are interested in learning more about the board, or have questions or concerns, please contact the executive committee at: executivecommittee@tillerschool.org

TILLER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS

Ken Murphy  •  President
Ken Murphy succeeded his wife as a parent representing the interests of the Middle School on the Board. With the closing of the middle school he no longer had children at Tiller. A strong commitment to the ideals of education being provided in the community by an institution that is not run by the government, along with a deep respect for the other board members led Ken to remain on the board after closure of the middle school. Ken is currently serving as board president. When not involved in church or school related activities, Ken is involved in the local business community as well as the father of three teenage students on the county. Ken has served in community based organizations most of his adult life including Scouting, church, Jr. Achievement, etc.

Glenn Haworth  •  Vice President

Lynn Fulcher  •  Treasurer
Originally from California, I moved to North Carolina in 1986 and married in 1995. I have two daughters Katelyn and Kelsey, both who were former Tiller students. Since moving to North Carolina, I have worked in the television production field, both at Time Warner and Fox 8/14 in Morehead City. I am now semi-retired and enjoy working on a former farm down in Bettie. Our family sailed for two years around the Bahamas enjoying life and are now back in the normal swing of things. I delight in being involved in the Tiller School and feel blessed that my kids had the opportunity to spend time here. It feels like home.
