Employee Recognition

Faculty and staff are recognized for their excellence and service to the School with awards and accolades:

Mary Louise Leipheimer Excellence in Teaching Award

The Mary Louise Leipheimer Excellence in Teaching Award was established in 2014 by Foxcroft’s Board of Trustees to honor the retiring Head of School who spent 40+ years at the all girls school in Virginia as a teacher and administrator. The award recognizes a faculty member with a tenure of at least three years who connects with and challenges each student to develop her analytical ability, critical and independent thinking, communication skills and personal integrity.

Jane Lockhart Service Award

The Jane Lockhart Service Award was established in 2012 by Foxcroft parents and students in appreciation of the dedication, commitment, and passion of Jane Lockhart, who has worked at Foxcroft since 1966. It honors a staff or faculty member who “exemplifies a personal commitment to and understanding of all of our students,” with an emphasis on all.

Everyday Hero Award

Each day, members of the Foxcroft community perform small but meaningful acts. Felt across campus but sometimes unrecognized, this culture of kindness inspired a group of students and faculty to establish the Everyday Hero Award. This monthly recognition of one student and one employee is designed to catch people doing great things, tell their stories, and celebrate the living spirit of our Foxcroft values: Respect, Integrity, Kindness, and Service.
