Past Board Members

Saluting More Than 50 Years of Service

District 64 is pleased to provide this roll of community members who have served on previous Boards of Education. Although our District is quite old, our recent records date back to 1968. We thank these 65 women and men -- and all who came before them -- for their past service as dedicated representatives of the community. The visionary goals and policies they established made it possible for generations of Park Ridge-Niles students to thrive and succeed, thanks to their outstanding District 64 education.
