Phillip Harvey
District 1, Term ends: January 10, 2026
Phillip Harvey moved to the Baldwin City area in 2014, after 9 years in the Air Force. Phillip and his wife, Kimberly, have 5 children spread out over USD 348. Phillip is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who practices with Oral Surgery Kansas. With several surgical offices in Northeast Kansas, there were many places the Harvey family considered putting down roots. They chose to settle in Baldwin primarily because of the reputation of the school district.
With his relatively unique perspective of 24 years of being a student, he is a strong advocate for academics and believes that the district’s primary objective should continue to be the preparation of each student for a transition into college or the workforce, with an emphasis on wise fiscal use of the taxpayers’ dollars. He hopes to aid in the continued building of that legacy.
When he is not School Boarding, he enjoys a busy schedule of work, BJHS and BHS athletic events, being outdoors, hunting and fishing, church, and spending time with friends and family.
