I would order it thus:



NAME:

ADDRESS

TELEPHONE

MOBILE:



Elected to represent the school and make essential decisions in order to benefit students, teachers and members of the school committee

Leave out 'and members of the school committee'



Possess good communication skills

You can leave out 'possess'



Certificate of credibility 2009

Really? Not "creditability"



Certificate of excellence in raising

'for raising' would be better
