Welcome

Welcome from the Principal

It is a true honor to serve as the Principal of Fox River Middle School in the Waterford Graded School District. From the moment I arrived, I have been inspired by the strong sense of community, the dedication of our staff, and the enthusiasm of our students. Fox River is a place where people care deeply about education, each other, and the future, and I am incredibly thankful to be a part of it.

My journey in education began in 2011, following time in the private sector as a college admissions advisor. I hold degrees and certifications in communications, business marketing, teaching, educational leadership, and special education services. I have continued my doctoral work to deepen my understanding of educational systems and leadership. Every step of the way has reinforced my belief in the power of schools to shape both individual lives and communities.

Outside of school, life is wonderfully full. My wife and I have a busy, lively home with our four children (Abigail, Arthur, Max, and Ellie) and our niece Delaney, who is also part of our family. Whether we are cooking together, camping, hiking, or exploring a national park, we find joy in the adventure. On weekends, you might also find me on the soccer fields where I serve as an Academy Director and Coach. It is another way I stay connected to youth development beyond the classroom.

I look forward to meeting you, whether it is at a school event, out in the community, or over a cup of coffee. Thank you for welcoming me into this exceptional district. I am excited for what we will build together at Fox River.

Warmly,
Adam P.K. Scanlan
Principal, Fox River Middle School
