Meet our Principal
Dear Truxton Academy Community,
​
I am delighted to announce my role as the incoming principal at Truxton Academy
Charter School, and I am eager to extend a warm greeting to each of you!
​
My roots trace back to rural Minnesota, near the small town of Scandia, where I spent
my childhood exploring the woods and navigating dirt roads on my bike. My diverse
interests, ranging from travel and camping to football and wrestling, have shaped my
journey. Following my high school years, I pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in International
Relations at the University of Minnesota.
Continuing my educational pursuit, I earned a Master's Degree in Education in 1998, also from the University of Minnesota. Over the past 17 years, I have dedicated myself to teaching across various grades, from kindergarten to sixth grade. In my most recent role, I served as an assistant principal at a charter school in Austin, Texas.
​
Beyond my professional endeavors, I have two children, a son in fifth grade and a daughter in eighth grade. Our family, having recently relocated from Texas to central New York, has been relishing the four seasons, enjoying camping, hiking, and savoring the picturesque landscapes. We now call the Village of Camillus, just west of Syracuse, our home.
​
Joining Truxton Academy as your new principal fills me with enthusiasm and a genuine commitment to contributing to the success of the school. I am excited about the prospect of working with and serving the Truxton community. Your warm welcome has been truly appreciated, and I am looking forward to embarking on this exciting journey together.
​
Sincerely,
Scott Anderson
Principal
