Administration
Dr. Schafermeyer
I am thrilled to serve as the principal of Fearn Elementary School in School District 129. Joining this vibrant and dynamic community has been a rewarding experience, and I am excited to build upon the strong foundation that has been established here. My journey in education spans over twenty years of building leadership experience, having served in the communities of Wheaton, Yorkville, and Oswego. This extensive background has equipped me with a deep understanding of diverse educational settings and the ability to foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
I began my educational career as a passionate fifth-grade teacher, where I discovered my love for inspiring young minds and nurturing their academic and personal growth.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in elementary education, a Master of Education in educational administration, and a Doctorate of Education in curriculum and instruction. These academic achievements have provided me with a solid foundation to lead and innovate in the field of education.
In the coming school year, I look forward to embracing the curiosity, complexity, and joy of learning with our students and staff.

I am honored to serve as the assistant principal of Fearn Elementary School. Fearn has a long standing history of educational excellence and I look forward to continuing the work alongside our dedicated staff to develop the academic skills of our students and provide opportunities for our Falcons to explore areas of interest via our wide variety of extracurricular activities.
My professional experience includes middle school assistant principal roles in both Oswego District 308 and Glen Ellyn SD41 for a combined total of five years. Additionally, I spent five years as the student services coordinator in West Aurora SD129 in which I supported programs and initiatives focusing on social emotional learning in preK-12th grades. Lastly, I worked as a speech pathologist for seven years at both the elementary and middle school levels.
I am a graduate of Illinois State University and Governor’s State University achieving masters in both principal leadership and speech language pathology and I have a bachelor’s of science in speech language pathology.
I look forward to another great year of learning at Fearn. Go Falcons!
