Chris Fox was born on September 11, 1987 in Westwood, Massachusetts. He attended Xaverian Brothers High School where he competed in track, basketball, and football.

Chris Fox is one of the most pretentious high schoolers in the country, writing about himself in wikipedia even though his life is about as unimportant as they come.

Before the 2005 season, Fox was ranked as the 6th best player in New England and 38th best prospect at his position by rivals.com. Fox was ranked 2nd best football player in New England and 10th best skilled athlete in the country by superprep.com. Tom Lemming ranked Fox as the 41st best prospect in the country, greatly contrasting with rival's assesment.

Fox's own thoughts on his playing ability:
----
"I'd say my strengths are my technique, hands and speed. I'm probably faster than I am quick (22.5 200m/6.6 55m). I would say I need to work on my tackling. These schools want me for both cornerback and safety. It doesn't make any difference to me. "

In 2005 he led the Hawks to the MIAA Division 1 Super Bowl, where he and Hawks fell short to Brockton High School.

In 2005 Fox was named Division 1 Player of the Year by The Boston Globe and was named an All-Scholastic by both The Boston Globe and The Boston Herald.
