Charles A. Gill was a successful businessman and county commissioner for Precinct 7 in Dallas during the late 1800s and early 1900s. He was an architect by profession, but his interest in educating the young people of Dallas led him in a new direction. In 1885, one year after the Dallas schools were reorganized, Gill became a member of what is now the Board of Trustees. In 1886, he became president of the board, a position he held until 1890. He did not serve on the Board of Education in 1891, but in 1892, he became vice president of the board. Gill was one of the early leaders in public education in Dallas, and his legacy still has positve influence on the boys and girls of the city. He later served on the Dallas City Council. After his retirement from his architectural business, Gill continued to serve as school architect for Dallas.
