Board of Directors
The role of the Garces Memorial High School Board of Directors is to assist and advise the Rector and the school’s administration with matters dealing with:
- Adherence to school’s mission statement and philosophy
- Educational, financial, developmental, and business policies
- Planning
- Public relations
- Other pertinent matters and affairs of the school
Its ultimate purpose is to work with the Rector and the Administration to create for the students and their families a Catholic, God-centered college preparatory educational environment.
The Board members are appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese of Fresno and serve three-year terms, renewable once. Nominations to serve on the Board are welcomed at any time. Members are appointed by the Rector following consultation with the Board’s Executive Committee. Board members are selected for their association with Garces Memorial, either as current or past parents, as alumni, or as recognized community supporters of the school. Presently, four members are current parents, six are past parents, and four are alumni.
All regular meetings of the Board are open to parents of Garces Memorial students, faculty and staff, and other persons invited to attend such meetings by the Rector, Monsignor Michael Braun, or the Chairperson, Mr. Daniel Giordano.

One of the most effective ways to become involved with the school is through the six committees established by the Board of Directors addressing specific aspects of the school. They are:
- Advancement/Development
- Alumni Relations
- Finance

- Property and Facilities/Maintenance
- Student Life
If it is your desire to serve on one of these committees or would like more information, please contact John Fanucchi at (661) 327-2578, ext. 116 or by email at jfanucchi@garces.org
