Fox to retire at end of 24-25 school year
LURAY, Va. – Dr. Antonia Fox, Division Superintendent of Page County Public Schools, has announced that she will retire at the end of the current school year.
In an official media statement, Fox wrote:
After 30 years in public education and after careful reflection and extended consideration, I am writing to share that I will retire at the end of the 2024-2025 school year. It has been an incredible honor and privilege to serve as the Superintendent of this wonderful school division.
For the past four years, I have given my all to Page County Public Schools, and I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made. However, none of our achievements have been accomplished alone—they are the result of strong partnerships between our schools, families, and community.
I want to thank you, our families, for your trust, support, and commitment to your children and their education. You play an essential role in the success of our schools, and your encouragement has been a cornerstone of our shared accomplishments. Page County is a truly special place, and I am continually inspired by the strength and resilience of our community. It has been deeply rewarding to partner with families in support of the growth, learning, and achievement of our students.
While I look forward to the opportunities and adventures that retirement will bring, I will deeply miss the energy, inspiration, and connections that come from being part of this remarkable school community. Public education has been my calling, and I leave this profession with a heart full of pride and gratitude for all we have achieved together.
I have assured the School Board of my commitment to working diligently over the next several months to ensure a smooth transition for the next Superintendent and for our division. Public education is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our communities, and I encourage you to continue supporting and celebrating the positive pathways it offers. I look forward to continuing to support public education and PCPS in any way I can in the future.
The School Board will begin the search for a new Superintendent immediately, with the goal of hiring someone to start on July 1, 2025. One of their first steps will be distributing a survey to gather input from you about their priorities for this important decision. The Board will keep you informed throughout the process.
I wish each of you and your children nothing but the very best. I also wish for our entire division to continue to grow and thrive in the years to come. I will always be cheering for PCPS!
