Boise School District Honors Trustee Maria Greeley with Distinguished Service Award
On September 8, 2025, the Boise School District Board of Trustees proudly recognized Trustee Maria Greeley with the Distinguished Service Award in honor of her 12 years of exemplary service to the students, families, and staff of the District.
A Legacy of Leadership and Advocacy
Since joining the Board in 2013, Trustee Greeley has demonstrated unwavering dedication to ensuring every student has access to a high-quality education. She has served as Vice-Chair of the Board for the past decade and contributed her leadership to key committees, including the Governance, Facilities, Strategic Planning, and Superintendent Evaluation committees.
A proud mother of four Borah High School graduates, Greeley brought to her role a deep, personal understanding of the importance of strong public schools. Her advocacy for academic rigor, diverse course offerings, and equitable opportunities for all students has left a lasting impact on the Boise School District.
Connecting With School Communities
Throughout her tenure, Trustee Greeley prioritized visiting each of the District’s schools. By spending time in classrooms and meeting with educators and administrators, she gained valuable insights into the strengths and needs of each school community. Her commitment to building these connections reinforced the Board’s dedication to serving all students.
Service Beyond the Boardroom
Trustee Greeley’s service to public education began long before her role on the Board. She co-chaired the campaign to reject the Luna Laws and was a member of “Friends of Boise,” a community group that supported the successful 2012 levy to maintain class sizes. She also engaged in professional learning and advocacy at the state and national level, bringing back best practices to benefit Boise students.
A Lasting Impact
Superintendent Lisa Roberts, along with the Board of Trustees, praised Trustee Greeley for her steadfast leadership and student-centered approach. “Maria has always kept students at the heart of every decision,” said Superintendent Roberts. “Her service has made Boise schools stronger and has left a legacy that will continue to benefit our community for years to come.”

Trustee Maria Greeley’s tenure has been marked by a passion for education, a commitment to equity, and a belief in the potential of every student.
