About & People
Our school board.Who governs us.
The Huda Academy School Board is the governing body of the school and looks after its mission and long-term direction.
“Who is ultimately responsible for protecting the school’s mission?”
The board’s role
What the board does.
Our School Board holds the school’s mission in trust and sets its long-term direction.
The board does not run the school day to day. Those decisions belong to the principal and the administration.
Those who serve
Our board members.
Our board officers and members, as listed in our Strategic Plan for 2019-2024.
To confirm with the school. These five names are the Huda Academy School Board as it was listed in the school’s 2019–2024 Strategic Plan, written in 2019. Before this goes live, please confirm:
- Who serves on the board today: is anyone listed here no longer on it, and who has joined since 2019?
- Each person’s role. The plan names only a Chairman (Ahmed Abuabdou) and a Vice-Chairman (Yasir Sultan). Is there a Secretary or a Treasurer?
- The spelling of every name.
- That each member is happy to have their name published on the website.
- Whether a new strategic plan followed the 2019–2024 plan (the “How the board plans ahead” section below describes the 2019 one), and whether the board still reviews it each year.

School culture
Islamic manners in the daily life of our students, and clearer communication between our staff and parents.
Technology
