Source-derived summary

North Boone Community Unit School District 200 is a unified school district based in the central region of the county of its namesake, Boone County; more specifically, in the village of Poplar Grove, Illinois. Five of the six schools in the district are located here, with the other being eastwards in the village of Capron.

Schools

The six schools comprise three elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school.

Manchester Elementary School, which serves the grades K-4 alongside Poplar Grove Elementary School, is governed by Principal Brandon Meyer; the principal of Poplar Grove Elementary School is Heather Walsh.

Capron Elementary School, the only school in the district located in a village other than Poplar Grove, serves not only the grades K-4, but also includes a prekindergarten program. The current principal is Kelly Kerchner.

All students who graduate from one of the district elementary schools will consolidate at the fifth grade in one school, called North Boone Upper Elementary School, whose principal is Tasha Rayas; all students move on to North Boone Middle School, headed by Allison Louis, which educates those in grades seven and eight.

The last leg of education this district can provide is to those from grade nine to grade twelve; the facility is called North Boone High School, whose principal is named Marc Eckmann. The current superintendent is Dr. Michael J. Greenlee.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “North Boone Community Unit School District 200” as school district in Illinois, United States. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around North, Boone and Community.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current 226-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with North, Boone and Community providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “North Boone Community Unit School District 200”, the useful work is to connect “school district in Illinois, United States” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7054225. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
