Board Info and Bios

President -- Ingrid Andreasen Price
I grew up in Plainfield and still live here today. I attended Central Elementary, Indian Trail Junior High, and Plainfield High School like many of you did. I graduated from PHS in 1977. After high school I attended Joliet Junior College, where I earned my Associate Degree majoring in Fine Art. After college I married a fellow classmate, Christopher Price. We have been married for 22 years. We have 2 Children, Chelsea a senior and Jake a sophomore, both at PHS.

I am an active member of the PHS Athletic Boosters and enjoy attending many of the sports events at PHS, especially the ones my children are involved in. My daughter is a captain on the Varsity Pom Squad and my son plays volleyball. Some of my favorite school memories include Homecoming. Since 1998, when the Plainfield Homecoming Committee was
formed, I have been involved in the many facets of homecoming. The PHS Alumni Association was started in 2006 and I am currently one of the Co-Presidents. A few of the reasons I joined the PHS Alumni Association include sustaining the traditions that are unique to Plainfield High School, developing Alumni events, and in the future the hopes of offering a variety of scholarships to PHS graduates.

Currently I own Andreasen Travel, where I have worked since we opened in 1981. In spite
of the internet, our business continues to grow. When time allows, I love to travel. read, and spend time with my family.
