Presidents of the Barcroft
School and Civic League




The Barcroft School and Civic League was formed in 1908 as the Barcroft Citizens Association. It changed its name in that same year to the Barcroft School and Civic League to emphasize the community's determination to have its own elementary school.

These are the names we can confirm. The early names came from an unpublished list of Mildred Handy Ritchie, who noted that they were not necessarily accurate for the years 1908 to 1920 and 1923 to 1929. Her "possibly" names are followed with a question mark. Terms run from September to September. There is a rule in the Articles of Incorporation limiting officers to two successive terms.
