Superintendent Welcome

Members of the Red Devil Community,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! Chaffee Schools adopted the Red Devil as its mascot back in 1922. During the past century, our students and faculty have embodied the Red Devil Spirit of hard work, never-quit attitude, and determination to be the best. The faculty and staff of Chaffee R-2 Schools take our mission to heart: We serve the community by creating an educational environment of accountability and high expectations conducive to the production of life-long learners.

As we enter this school year, we need to take the lessons we have learned since Chaffee R-2 began back in 1905, and work to apply them. We will continue to make sure our students are capable of facing any challenge that they may face whether it be in the classroom, field or court of play, or any situation that they will face in life.

Thank you to the entire Chaffee community for supporting our school to make it a great place of learning for our students!

With Red Devil Pride,

Shawn Nix, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
Chaffee R-2 School District
