It is our pleasure to welcome Dale Wells as our new Director of Admissions and Head Varsity Football Coach heading into the 2023-2024 school year.
Coach Wells graduated from Clear Lake High School in Houston, TX in 1990 and attended the University of Memphis. Dale and his family joined the FA family 4 years ago when they moved to Fayette County. His wife, Cortney, is currently teaching 1st grade at FA and they have 3 sons: Ryan, Eason (class of 2023) and Zach (class of 2025). Dale and his family are members of Christ Presbyterian Church of Fayette County in Somerville.
Dale has had a 30-year career in Logistics and Operations Management. He has served in roles such as Customer Service Manager, National Account Manager, Director of Finance and most recently Director of Operations.
Coach Well’s football coaching career started in 2004, and over that time, he has led multiple teams to many years of high-level success. From 2015-2018, he served as head coach at Bon Lin Middle School with a record of 29-1, Director of Middle School Football for Bartlett City Schools, and Bartlett’s Football Booster Club President. Coach Wells has recently served as an assistant coach and head coach with Fayette Academy’s Middle School program from 2019-2022, leading the Vikings to a record of 27-5 and as the Athletic Booster Club President from 2020-2023.
