Matching Gift and Volunteer Grant information provided by

The Foxcroft Circle

Young women learn best when challenged by an interdisciplinary and experiential curriculum. That's why, at this all girls private boarding school in Virginia, you'll find girls flying drones across campus, developing apps in Schoolhouse, writing poetry on the banks of Goose Creek, and utilizing our current construction projects to learn about engineering. The Foxcroft Circle, previously the Annual Fund, makes these experiences possible.

News

The Turf Fields are Open!
11/29/2018
In late October, students were elated to hear that the new turf fields were open for play, knowing full well what the project means to Foxcroft Athletics and its participants. It brings the fields up to regulation size for field hockey, lacrosse, and soccer; eliminates the slope of the fields; and addresses the poor condition of the playing surfaces. It provides an all-weather option for softball and adds a practice track that makes a spring track program possible. Plus, the facility now includes new scoreboards, stadium seating, handicap access, and conduit for future lighting.

Several lead gifts in support of our multi-sport turf fields have been received but, as the project nears completion, the School community is invited to participate in this momentous gift to Foxcroft athletes, current and future. Make a general donation or choose a naming opportunity to honor an athlete, coach, or family members. Naming opportunities range from a stadium seat ($500) or team bench ($5,000) to the two regulation-size fields ($500,000 each).

For details or to make a gift online, visit www.foxcroft.org/turf. If you would like to discuss naming opportunities or have any questions, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement (540.687.4510; advancement@foxcroft.org).

Rachel Morehouse grew up in Huntington, WV, and moved to Northern Virginia during her teenage years. After completing a bachelor’s degree program in Global Affairs at George Mason University, Rachel worked as an Administrative Assistant with Fairfax County Public Schools’ Office of Early Childhood Education. Realizing that she was not quite finished with her academic journey, Rachel moved to the United Kingdom to pursue a master’s degree in English Literature at the University of Southampton. This decision was met with the overwhelming support from her mother, an upper school AP English Literature teacher at Flint Hill School, who relished the fact that her youngest daughter was following in her footsteps.

After two years of living abroad, Rachel completed her academic coursework and returned to the United States to finish her master’s thesis, which focused on adaptations of the fairy tale in contemporary female literature. She worked briefly as the Executive Assistant to the Department Head of Biomedical Engineering at Penn State while finishing her thesis, and she eventually returned to Northern Virginia where she filled multiple administrative roles at George Mason University’s National Center for Biodefense and Infectious Diseases.

Rachel is a a true believer in the power of education, and she loves any task that challenges her to learn new skills -- especially if that new skill is related to technology (she built her own PC a few years back!). She currently lives in Ashburn and loves to engage in various DIY projects around the house. During warmer months, you may run into her riding her bike along the W&OD trail which runs directly behind her condo. Rachel is also more than a little obsessed with her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Simon, and his favorite spot is on her lap (all 90 pounds of him!).
