Principal's Corner

Welcome to Fort Recovery Elementary

"Better Today Than You Were Yesterday. Better Tomorrow Than You Were Today.” 

It is a privilege to be serving as the elementary principal at Fort Recovery Elementary School, a PreK-5 school of about 500 students. Our mission is to maximize student opportunities in a collaborative community, holding our members to high academic and character standards. The staff at Fort Recovery Elementary School are passionate about education and our community and are happy to provide the needed support and care to our students as they grow and learn. It is a great place to be!

At Fort Recovery Elementary School we often reference the Indian Way, which teaches students the importance of community, growth, and responsibility. I am a firm believer that learning from mistakes and failures is one of the deepest ways to grow, and I believe that our schools should be a safe place for students to do this. Learning and achieving goals can be hard work, but it is worth the struggle because it will provide opportunities and pathways to our students’ dreams. We want to equip our students to be independent, lifelong learners by the time they graduate, and we get the honor of starting that work in our Elementary School.  

Our parents and greater community are a large part of the formula that leads to the success of our students. We strive for open communication, and I would encourage you to contact us if you ever have any questions or needs regarding your student’s education. 

We are all rooting for our Fort Recovery kids!
