敬学校，敬拼写书，敬规则...
...为我们追随的夏洛特小姐干杯.
夏洛特·哈索尔·诺兰于1914年创办了太阳城电子app，当时她32岁. Her dream was to create a school that "girls would want to come to and hate to leave because they loved it.100多年后，很明显，她实现了自己的目标. 福克斯克罗夫特的女孩们努力学习，尽情玩耍，她们热爱自己的学校. Each year, ITs (daughters, granddaughters, 曾孙女)和后代(姐妹), nieces, 校友的表亲平均占学生总数的20-25%, 反映着这份爱, belief, and commitment, 被夏洛特小姐创造的欢乐和嬉戏感刺激着.
从一开始, Miss Charlotte’s highest aim and Foxcroft’s greatest responsibility has been to educate the whole student. 她努力灌输崇高的目标, integrity, leadership, understanding, 以及学生的同理心, 学院的校训是 在corpore sano中，men Sana (健康的精神寓于健康的身体)——指引福克斯克罗夫特走到今天.
At Foxcroft's heart is still the belief that a school for girls is better than a school with girls. Miss Charlotte knew this to be true even before she founded Foxcroft more than a century ago, and Mary Louise Leipheimer reaffirmed this notion when she became the ninth Head of School in 1989. 在她任职期间，Leipheimer曾在the 国际女子学校联盟 支持的研究表明 “女子学校优势”." The School's enrollment and endowment both grew and an excellent faculty refined its forward-thinking curriculum. 坚信“我们所做的一切都是课程”,“从体育和活动到社区服务的课外项目, leadership, and residential life were treated as opportunities to fulfill the School’s mission.
Foxcroft celebrated its first century of girls' education with a centennial celebration April 25-27, 2014. 在2013-14学年结束后, 凯瑟琳·斯迈莉·麦吉, a girls’ school veteran and passionate advocate for 21st Century skills which will prepare students for their futures, 出任第十任校长. 接着传来了一个令人震惊的消息:一笔4000万美元的遗赠, 感激而慷慨的校友留下的, Ruth Bedford '32, 这是女子中学有史以来收到的最大一份礼物. 几年后, four alumnae from the Mars family — Victoria Beth Mars '74 and Pamela Mars Wright '78 and their daughters Bernadette Schuetz Russell '03 and Charlotte Audrey Rossetter '12 — gave an extraordinary multi-generational gift of $22 million to the STEAM phase of the 建设我们的未来运动. 火星蒸汽翼将于2025-26学年开放, providing opportunities and learning spaces which support best practices for teaching girls in a field where women continue to be under represented.
福克斯克罗夫特的未来确实是光明的.
Keep up with times, don’t be narrow, have few rules, good hard work, and much fun.
