Principal

My name is Noelle Fahey and it is my great joy to serve as principal of Prairie Point Elementary School. It has been a privilege to have served as the proud assistant principal since 2017, and I look forward to continuing to support and to develop the strengths and talents of our staff and students.  Our exemplary staff has a strong commitment to the unique needs of all students, and I am honored to work alongside them each day.  

Prior to coming to Prairie Point, I was a 5th grade teacher for 10 years in Yorkville. During this time, I developed my skills as a classroom teacher of students with a wide range of experiences, and also expanded into pursuing and obtaining a Masters in Educational Administration in 2010. My family and I live in Yorkville and have two elementary-aged children, Olive (11) and Patrick (10), as well as three dogs. We enjoy spending time as a family by going to the pool, taking the dogs on walks, exploring parks, and cooking.

My greatest priority is to ensure Prairie Point Elementary continues to provide excellent learning opportunities for all students, and I look forward to working together with you to support your child(ren) as they engage in the exciting opportunities that Prairie Point Elementary has to offer. Continuing to partner and build relationships with all families is very important, so please feel free to contact me to discuss any concerns you may have or any points of pride you would like to share.

Our 2022-2023 school theme is “G.A.M.E. On!” (goals and motivation everyday), and it is very fitting for this time in the evolution and development of Prairie Point. I am excitedly looking forward to a year where we show our students and community that through staying motivated and setting personal goals, we can grow and achieve more! Thank you for your support and partnership!

Assistant Principal

It is with great excitement that I serve as the Assistant Principal of Prairie Point Elementary School. I feel very fortunate to be a part of this school and to support the students and families within this community. 

Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working in public education as both a special education teacher and administrator. Most recently, I have served as a Program Administrator within Oswego School District 308. Throughout my time in education, I have found that one of my greatest joys is to see students persevere through challenges to become the best possible learner. 

On a personal note, I am a proud Northern Illinois University alumni. At NIU I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree as a Learning Behavior Specialist, my Master in Science Degree in Educational Leadership, and my Director of Special Education endorsement. I have a deep passion for education and being a lifelong learner, and I will continue to learn much about the uniqueness of Prairie Point this year and in the years to come. I also have a love for dogs and have a Great Dane/Boxer mix. 

I cannot wait to share with you the great things your children do at Prairie Point Elementary School. I bring a belief that student learning and support for their learning are the center of all school related decisions. Please know that my top priority will always be to do what is best for our students. Because relationships between families and the school are vital to the success of our students, I encourage open lines of communication and that you become involved in your child’s learning in every way possible. 

It is going to be a great year! Go Panthers!
