Members, who serve three-year terms, are drawn from a variety of constituencies, including alumni, current and past parents and grandparents, and other friends of the school. The work of the board is completed through its standing committees, each of which meets regularly through the school year.
PDS is an independent, coeducational school educating students from pre-K to grade 12.
