Yes, it is possible to establish an S-corp as a one-person business. While traditionally S corporations are formed with multiple shareholders, the IRS allows a single individual to set up an S corporation. As an individual, you can be the sole shareholder, director, and employee of the S-corp.
Generally, board of directors are not shareholders. This is because directors are typically elected to represent the interests of all shareholders, not just their own personal interests.

Board members are added—and removed—by a vote. For publicly traded companies, shareholders vote for directors, typically during the annual stockholders' meeting.
If the shareholder to be removed is a board member, California Corporations Code Sections 300 to 318 does permit a removal “without cause,” provided the votes for removal outnumber the “no” votes when the number of “no” votes would be sufficient to elect that person to the board.
