After 39 years of service with District 112, Barry Fox is retiring as the instrumental music teacher at Chaska Middle School East.
“I never planned to stay this long,” said Fox. “I stayed because the kids were great and the community has a nice mix of urban and rural amenities. It still is fun, but you have to stop some time.”
(For the rest of the story, pick up the print edition of the Chaska Herald.)

Southwest Newspapers’ weekly community papers have histories that go as far back as the Civil War era. Several were started from scratch as our communities began to grow in the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. These popular newspapers routinely win awards of excellence from organizations like the Minnesota Newspaper Association.
Our community newspapers proudly serve Chanhassen, Chaska, Eden Prairie, Jordan, Prior Lake, Savage and Shakopee. These cities have some of the best school districts in the Twin Cities area, and several of these communities have made Money magazine’s annual lists of the best places in America to live.
