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.

Summer Progress 8/7/2009 The Athletic/Student Center takes shape
The construction on the new Athletic/Student Center has continued throughout the summer at a rapid pace. With the departure of the girls in May the project expanded to the demolition of the inside of the original structure in order to rework the space to fit the new design. July brought with it a huge crane to lift the 16-ton steel beams that create the roof of the new Students Activities wing and the "double box" gym.
