After nearly a century, the values and mission that Foxcroft's founder, Charlotte Noland, established at the School's very beginning endure. The School's motto -- Mens sana in corpore sano (A sound mind in a sound body) -- translates seamlessly into each new decade and every new challenge. Fulfilling the School's mission not only in today's world but for the future, however, requires constant evaluation and improvement, in program, people and plant. Embracing Miss Charlotte's motto: "Keep up with the times," the Master Plan for Foxcroft addresses present and future needs with understanding, appreciation, and commitment to the character of the campus: rural, open, solid, and unpretentious.
The plan is lofty but no loftier than that of a young woman in 1914 who had no money, rented land, and an enduring dream. Nine decades later Foxcroft is a permanent testament to Charlotte Noland's wisdom and to her courage. Now with the advent of the School's second century, we must call on our own courage and determination. The Master Plan preserves the School's heritage and tradition and maps our journey toward Foxcroft's next hundred years.
 | | Construction Update 11/20/2008 Changes to the Athletic/Student Center
If you are on campus this weekend you will notice a number of changes as construction of the Athletic/Student Center is moving right along. The ground work for the new building has been completed. The roof and walls have been taken off part of the building as demolition of the old "Activities" proceeds. The road and field behind the building have been moved and sod has been laid on the new field to get it ready for use in spring sports. The Quarters parking lot serves as the staging area for construction, and the footings for the new building will be put in soon, in preparation for vertical construction.
As vertical construction begins, we hope to have weekly updates available on the website, so you can keep track of the progress.

Ground broken for Athletic/Student Center 10/2/2008
Shortly before 2:00pm Saturday (Sept. 27), 14 golden shovels hit the dirt outside Foxcroft School’s Engelhard Activities Building and the entire student body -- decked out in athletic, riding, dance and Fox/Hound garb -- erupted in boisterous cheers and booming drum rolls. The assembled crowd of alumnae (on campus for Reunion), administrators, faculty, and friends joined in with enthusiastic applause. It was indeed a moment worth celebrating: the beginning of construction on a $14 million expansion and renovation of the School’s Athletic and Student Center.
