Like all nonprofit educational institutions, Montgomery School is governed by a Board of Trustees. The role of the Board of Trustees is to 1) uphold the mission of the School, 2) ensure the financial strength and sustainability of the School, and 3) hire and cultivate the Head of School. The Board focuses on strategy and long-term issues, leaving implementation and operational activities to the Head of School and administrative team. Board members voluntarily contribute their time, treasure, and talent for the good of the School.

Mrs. Pal concludes her blog post on the 8th grade Make A Difference Project with the following thoughts: "The make a difference project is in its second year of implementation. I had no idea how much this project would change my life and the lives of the students that I teach. I have learned that when combining passion and learning, there is no end to the possibilities for the students and the teachers. I am blessed that I teach at a school that creates opportunities for students to be successful and to learn that they, too, can make a difference in this world."
