Current Maine South High School Principal Dr. Ben Collins has been chosen as the next superintendent of Park Ridge-Niles Community Consolidated School District 64.
Collins, who earned a doctorate in Administration and Supervision from Loyola University of Chicago in 2017, said his “number one” priority as he takes over will be “stability, both with the working environment for all of our educators, and the relationship with the community.”Advertisementthat they hoped the district’s next leader would be a good communicator and skilled at managing conflict.
Collins said his first year as superintendent would be focused on getting to know the district, its people and its strengths. Collins described his ideal relationship with district parents as “collaborative” and noted that he knows many elementary and middle school parents because they also have children at Maine South.
Outgoing Board Vice President Carol Sales, who served as the board point person for the search, said the district was excited to welcome Collins.
