A short history
Fox Mill was established in September 1979. The building was not finished, so students spent the first three months at Floris Elementary, running as a separate school with their own teachers. Dr. Judy Nash was the first principal, and 593 children attended in 1979-80. Students first entered the new building on December 12, 1979. The school was first planned as Mumford Park Elementary. After parents found a family named Fox that operated a mill near a one-room schoolhouse in the 1800s, the School Board named it Fox Mill Elementary in May 1979. Source: the school’s history page.
