I'm Dan Chapin, the proud Principal of Avon Middle School South.

I have enjoyed the privilege of working with middle school students as a teacher, coach, assistant principal, and principal since 1987. This is my 15th year as the principal at Avon Middle School South.

My wife and I are blessed to have two sons. Our oldest son is the Assistant Manager at Four Wheel Parts in Fishers. Our youngest son is now in his final year of law school at the University of Texas.

I truly enjoy working with middle school students. Helping students through this awkward stage of growing up is not always easy but it is rewarding. I have clearly found the school level that best matches my skills and passion. I have no desire to do anything other than help create the best middle school experiences possible for our students.

I am focused on helping middle school students develop strong character. I believe that a person of character is trustworthy, treats people with respect, is responsible, is fair, is caring, and is a good citizen. When we begin the day focused on being people of strong character, we set ourselves up for success.

I am convinced that Avon Middle School South is a great place for middle school students to learn,  grow, and belong. Please feel free to call me at 544-5700 to discuss any questions, concerns, or positive comments you have about our school. Together we can help your child and our students become successful adults.
