Mr. Boatwright

It is with great pride and excitement that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Little Ridge Intermediate School. I am honored to join this vibrant school community and eager to begin a new chapter of learning, growth, and collaboration.

My wife Regina and I have lived in Fort Payne for 25 plus years and worked for the Fort Payne City School system. Our daughters are Abby a 2022 graduate of FPHS and Sara who will graduate in 2026 from FPHS. With 28 years of experience in education—as a teacher, instructional leader, and administrator—I bring a deep commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and challenging environment where every student can thrive. I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of a successful school, and I look forward to working closely with our dedicated staff, supportive families, and enthusiastic students.

At LRIS, we will continue to focus on academic excellence, character development, and preparing students to be thoughtful, engaged citizens. I am committed to ensuring that every student feels seen, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Please know that my door is always open. Whether you are a parent, student, staff member, or community partner, I welcome your ideas, questions, and collaboration as we work together to make this year outstanding.

I am truly excited for all that we will accomplish together.
