The members of the first Board of Trustees of the Pioneer Regional School Corporation were Paul Harrison, President; H.W. Roller, Vice-President; Roger Ide, Secretary; Harold Wilson, Treasurer; and Donald Heiny, Assistant Secretary. The corporation's first superintendent was Ralph L. Kelly, who served until January 20, 1968.
