Other founding officers were: Robert C. Brumder, vice-president, Robert L. Manegold, secretary.[6]

When the school obtained its permanent residence, the executive committee of trustees were: Herbert E Brumder, Robert C. Brumder, Mr and Mrs Edward Yewer, Mr and Mrs David Pabst, Mr and Mrs Paul Hibbard.[7]

Mrs. Herbert Brumder donated $100,000 to the school in memory of her son, who died in a car accident.[8]
