History of Fairglen
-
A former Fairglen student (Chris Lohse) emailed us this information about Fairglen: "I believe that Fairglen opened in September of 1966. From 1966 until the late 1980's, James J. Clark was principal. He was an extraordinary man who made Fairglen into the top elementary school in Brevard at that time. It was said that he knew the name of every child in his school."
Mrs. Judy Yates, our former bookkeeper, adds, "Fairglen was named after a street in Titusville where the Superintendent of the school system lived."
Student enrollment has varied over the years, and at one time was over 1200 students. In 1989, Mrs. Lori Ruiz became our principal, and during her years here, the school was renovated and the school is now all under one roof. Mrs. Susie Fleming was our third principal, and she retired in 2003. Then, Mrs. Jane Cline became principal of Fairglen from 2003 - 2010. Ms. Catherine Murphy was principal from 2018 through August 2020. We are now under the able leadership of Christy Meraz.

Christy Meraz, Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the newly appointed Principal of Fairglen Elementary.
It's an honor to have this opportunity to be part of the Fairglen Community. I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than twenty years. In 2012 I moved to Brevard County from Chicago. My most recent administrative experience was at Endeavour Elementary in Brevard County where I served as the Assistant Principal for five years. I am looking forward to working with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success. This year is going to be amazing as we continue to provide academic and social experiences for our students, while continuing to follow Covid-19 protocols. I look forward to building relationships with each of you. It is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors-teachers, students, and parents-are excited to be here!
My door is always open, and I welcome your input. Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you may have throughout the school year. I look forward to working with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success.
