About Melissa Prete, Board President

My name is Melissa Prete and I am the board president. I joined the board of directors in 2014 as the Parent Club liaison. I have been the board secretary and vice president. I was the vice president and president of the Parent Club. I have 2 sons who went to Spectrum starting in 2001. Nick Milles graduated in 2011 and is in his last semester at University of Minnesota, majoring in political science and minoring in business management. Mikey Milles graduated in 2016 and is now a junior at Belvidere North High School. He is on the BNHS debate team and comes to Spectrum during the school year to teach debate to the middle school.
