About Us
Scott Conroy
Welcome to Forest Ridge Elementary School. I am so excited to be at Forest Ridge Elementary School! I look forward to working with the awesome Forest Ridge students, staff, and school community. I am a product of the Howard County Public School System (Faulkner Ridge Elementary, Wilde Lake Middle and Wilde Lake High School). I earned my Bachelor’s Degree from the Elon College and my Master’s Degree from Loyola College. This is my 28th year working in HCPSS, 21 as an administrator, and 15 years as a principal. I think you will find me to be open, honest, and caring, and I look forward to earning your trust and respect. As Principal, I welcome your input and if at any time you have concerns, suggestions, or ideas, please feel free to share them with me.

Hello Forest Ridge Community! I am excited to begin my second year at Forest Ridge. Last year was a busy year of getting to know our staff, students, and community. I look forward to developing my relationships even more with the FRES community. Over the past few weeks I have gotten to know Mr. Conroy and I am excited to form a partnership with him and help to lead our school in a positive way. This will be my 7th year as an administrator and my 23rd year in Howard County. I began my career at Deep Run Elementary teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades before being promoted to Assistant Principal at both Deep Run and Ducketts Lane Elementary School. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Maryland and my Master’s Degree from Johns Hopkins University. During my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and visiting my parents as often as possible in Naples, FL. I am an avid sports fan and attend as many University of Maryland football and basketball games as possible. I look forward to continuing to build relationships here at FRES.

Forest Ridge: By the Numbers!
1992- The year Forest Ridge opened its doors to the first group of students. Originally, the school was designed to eventually become a community center in case population growth in the area didn’t reach projections. Instead, population growth in the area has exceeded expectations leading to the need for other schools in the area to be built.
