MIDDLEBURG, VA — Foxcroft School is excited to welcome Natalie Wiltshire ’95 as the newest chair of its Board of Trustees. Wiltshire, who recently assumed the role of CEO of KIPP Philadelphia Public Schools (KPPS), a charter network serving 3,050 students, has been a Foxcroft trustee since 2016. 

“Foxcroft is blessed to have Natalie’s professional expertise in school leadership and operations to lead the Board of Trustees,” says Head of School Cathy McGehee. “Furthermore, through her personal commitment to her alma mater and her service to the school that helped her succeed in college and beyond, she is an inspiration and role model to Foxcroft students and alumnae.”
