Carterville High School principal and girls’ basketball coach Todd Rogers was selected as the IHSA Board of Directors Vice-President Wednesday evening at the Board’s regularly scheduled meeting.
“I am very thankful to have been nominated and selected to serve as the Vice President of the IHSA Board of Directors,” said Rogers. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my past five years as a member of the Board of Directors and look forward to my new role. I am proud to represent Carterville High School, The Southern Illinois River to River Conference and all of the other 109 high schools that make up IHSA Division 7. With their support, I hope to continue to give our region a voice as Vice President of the Board.”
Dan Tully, the principal at Notre Dame College Prep in Niles, was elected Board President. Tully becomes the 39th individual in the Association’s Board history, which dates back to 1903, to hold the position of President and the first from a non-boundaried high school to serve in the role. He was elected to the Board in 2017 and has served as the Board Secretary since 2021.
“It is an honor and a privilege to be elected President of the IHSA Board of Directors,” said Tully. “Advocating for the Illinois high school students who participate in IHSA activities and sports is a tremendous responsibility that I will continue to approach thoughtfully. I look forward to working alongside my fellow Board members on behalf of the entire IHSA membership.”
Olympia Athletic Director Mike Castleman was elected Secretary. Castleman is the first athletic administrator to serve as an Officer on the IHSA Board, as prior to 2020, only high school principals were eligible to be Board members.
