Visiting Committee


The Evans School Visiting Committee connects the school with the larger community. Committee members are volunteers who help us forge meaningful ties with students, alumni, donors, community leaders, and elected officials at the local, state, and federal levels. Committee members also serve as mentors and role models for our students, and showcase the distinguished public and nonprofit service some of our graduates have come to exemplify.
