BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Green River Academy is directed by a nine member Board of Trustees that derives its role from the membership of the Green River Academy Preservation Society. In 2009, 174 years after the construction of the Green River Academy, the charter Board of Trustees was established to organize an effort to save the Academy main building from deterioration and demolition.
