Celebrating
FOXCROFT ACADEMY'S BICENTENNIAL THROUGHOUT ITS 200 YEAR HISTORY, FOXCROFT ACADEMY HAS BEEN SUSTAINED BY THE GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT OF ITS COMMUNITY. Chartered by the Maine Legislature on January 31,1823, the Academy was established just a few years after the incorporation of the town of Foxcroft itself. From modest beginnings in a wood frame building for which the town appropriated $100.00, the school now occupies a beautiful 125-acre campus with a full complement of academic, athletic, and residential facilities. FA’s bicentennial is a major milestone, marking a point in time to reflect on our past, to remember those who have come before us, and to look forward to a bright and promising future. Our bicentennial committee is already hard at work planning activities and events to help celebrate our remarkable success. We will kick things off next spring with the grand opening of our new indoor track and multi-purpose field house. While we are still in the early stages of planning for the bicentennial celebration, we know that preparing for these events and getting things right will require a great deal of time and energy by many in our community. We hope you will join us in celebrating this special occasion and honoring Foxcroft Academy’s first 200 years.
