Principal's Bio

Black Fox Elementary is a special school, and I am incredibly grateful to be a part of it. As a former Black Fox student, parent, and grandparent, I recognize the unique family atmosphere our school offers each child. While we have implemented many innovative changes, the heart of our school has remained the same.

Our faculty and staff bring exceptional skill, patience, and commitment to our students. Having served as principal for over 15 years, it is a privilege to partner with the very finest professionals and families. In addition to making certain our children are learning rigorous content, we enjoy watching them develop personally, discover what they do well, and grow to find gratifying adulthoods achieving their own dreams. 

Many exciting changes have taken place at Black Fox Elementary. The first grade classroom where I remember learning to read in 1967 is now the Black Fox Telemedicine Health Clinic, and our old cafeteria now houses our TRAC Lab. Black Fox continues to make high-quality improvements that maximize opportunities for children. From Visual Arts to Archery and Musicals to Cross Country, it would be difficult to find an elementary school that offered more activities and opportunities to its students in a public or a private setting than we offer at Black Fox.

As a child, I remember cheering with pride for my school team. As an adult, I find that cheering Black Fox Elementary has become my calling. Go BLACK FOX!!!!
