A LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL The start of the 2022-23 school year has been an exciting time to be a Panther! The energy surrounding the school is palpable.

This fall, four upper school students were named National Merit Scholars, our Entrepreneurial Leadership students won several awards at their first-ever pitch competition against 50 other schools from across the region, and our All-Community Tailgate drew a crowd of over 2,000 to The Hill for our first home football game of the season.

The support for our community is inspiring and this year, we celebrated a record-breaking 2021-22 Annual Fund and the successful completion of the first phase of the largest capital campaign in FRA's history. Phase one of The Unique Moment in Time capital campaign provided for our students and faculty the Weicker Center for Student Life, the athletic center and Crockett & Tansil Fitness Center, the lower school portico, the pavilion on The Hill, the security gate and welcome center, the opening of the newly renovated Scarlett Family Chapel, and the acquisition of the adjacent 4600 property. In the second portion of this edition of the magazine, we have included our Philanthropy Report for 2021-22, which recognizes and celebrates the tremendous support for our school community and our unique mission to deliver a challenging educational experience in an inclusive Christian community.

I hope you enjoy hearing the stories of current students, alumni, and families who are leading in our community and making an impact on our campus. I know my family is blessed to be a part of this remarkable community. I hope to see you on campus soon.

Sincerely,

Sean Casey FranklinRoadAcademy.com | 2

Captain Bo Korpman Class of 2012

I

It’s a gift to be able to reflect upon one’s life and pinpoint a trulyformative experience. As I look back on my thirteen years at Franklin Road

Academy, however, it’s clear that the molding and shaping I underwent there spanned not just a singular moment but an entire childhood. Now fully committed to a military career, it’s no surprise that I find myself mirroring the value of service that FRA embodies so strongly. In my volunteering, it’s only fitting that I now strive to invest in our nation’s youth the same way dozens of exceptional teachers invested in me.

A decade after graduating, I cannot help but notice the pattern of FRA bettering itself as an independent school and continuing to shape its students into exceptional young people.

After FRA , I attended Vanderbilt University, where I majored in political science and philosophy. The writing and critical thinking foundation FRA gave me were instrumental in my success there, and I was privileged to have no qualms about my ability to speak publicly after more than a decade of FRA opportunities to engage in public speaking while pursuing student council opportunities, performing with the choir,

FRA empowers its students and prepares them for life after their college preparatory years.

And while I owe so much of the success I found to my time in the university and beyond, what keeps me coming back to visit the school and engaging with the FRA community runs much deeper. Academia is only one part of the equation, and it’s the extra mile of arts, athletics, character-building—and, most importantly— individualized consideration that sets our school apart. A contrarian by nature, there was never a moment at FRA that I didn’t feel seen; there was never a teacher who, regardless of the difference in belief or thought, didn’t go out of his or her way to understand me and challenge me to deepen my understanding and push the boundaries of my learning. No one embodies this more powerfully than M. (Monsieur) Climer.

M. Climer is­— after college, grad school, and half a decade of Air Force schooling and instruction— the best teacher I have had and will ever have.

FRA isn’t merely a place. It's people, while very different now from when I was a student, define the school and make it the home I return to every chance I get to come back to Nashville. The investment FRA made in me is one that I now try to pour back into each one of the airmen I lead.

Q A

WHAT ABOUT FRA HAS REMAINED STEADFAST OVER THE YEARS? FRA has always emphasized family and community.

Without one, you don’t have the other. Throughout the years, this still seems to be the case.

HOW HAS FRA CHANGED SINCE YOUR TIME THERE? HOW HAS IT STAYED THE SAME? While FRA continues to retain that small-town, family feel, watching the school evolve and adapt to our culture has been fun. I am excited about the opportunity to become involved in the recently launched entrepreneurship program!

HOW DOES THE HEART AND MISSION OF FRA MIRROR YOUR PERSONAL LIFE MISSION? FRA’s focus on developing a lifelong love of learning, discovering personal passions, and nurturing leaders align with how I run my business and raise my children. The emphasis on character development, morals, and ethics is extremely important. Feeling connected to a belief system within a like-minded community is very comforting.

WHAT PROGRAMS, TEACHERS, AND MEMORIES HAVE BEEN THE MOST INFLUENTIAL? I loved Coach Tucker who was my art teacher at the time. Part of that is because I’m a right-brained person and feel driven and inspired in creative environments. Coach Tucker is such a cool guy. I still have the Raku pottery I made in his class.

Over the years, everything has grown and improved at FRA , whether it be the physical campus, the student body, athletics, or facilities. The unique community of students and families that come out of FRA is ready to contribute to their college, society, and the world. I am honored to have graduated from a place that is always looking for the better.

The way FRA has continued to grow, improve, move forward, and become an anchor in the Nashville community and beyond makes all FRA alumni proud. And while much has changed at the school, I'm proud to know that FRA continues to develop the best families and students for our day, producing outstanding leaders grounded in faith.  Brandon graduated from FRA in 2004 and was a member of the 12-Year Club.

BR ADCAST JOURNALISM

BY LISA ZENNER, Broadcast Journalism Teacher

17 | 4700 Fall/Winter 2022

F E AT U R E S T O R Y

O

One main goal of our 2020-2025 Strategic Vision is to further expand experiential and innovative learning opportunities for our students as they explore and pursue their passions. In recent years, communication

and journalism majors have amplified in popularity. Many businesses quickly transitioned to digital platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing the value and importance of multimedia solutions. Our daily lives were instantly changed, with Zoom webinars and meetings becoming the new normal. Companies large and small had to adapt to an "on-air talent" feel, and students realized this would impact their future careers.

Franklin Road Academy continues to expand innovative learning opportunities for our students as we prepare them to lead in an everchanging and increasingly digital world. Our broadcast journalism students are honing their skills in video production and editing, podcast recording, and live broadcasting.

GOOD MORNING FRAMERICA Good Morning FRAmerica is a weekly show that airs in front of our upper school student body every Friday morning during convocation.

Students manage all pre- and post-production responsibilities, from conceptualization and planning to filming and editing, including the content and graphics for the weekly morning show. Segments often include current school events, faculty spotlights, athletic highlights, student accolades, and announcements.

LIVE BROADCASTS Our Broadcast Club is responsible for play-by-play announcing and production during athletic contests. These broadcasts are live and available on the NFHS Network. The enthusiasm and passion for digital production have spread into our lower school, where our fourth grade students have started their own Broadcast Club to learn about communications, social media, video, and podcasts. Over the past few years, the Tennessee High School Press Association has awarded our upper school students eight honors. In addition, Youth Journalism International has presented our program with three awards for student broadcast and production excellence.

"I have served as a co-host of Good Morning FRAmerica since my junior year, and I still have the same love for the show today as the day I first started. Not only does this involvement allow me to be on our weekly news show, but it also allows me to be involved with broadcast projects all around campus. If it was not for Mrs. Zenner and her support of me stepping outside my comfort zone, I firmly believe I would not be as confident as I am today."

- GRAHAM PAVE Senior Broadcast Journalism Student & Co-host of Good Morning FRAmerica

CHRISTMAS VIDEO The Christmas video is a beloved annual tradition at FRA . The broadcast journalism students partner with the marketing and communications team to plan, film, and edit the video. Last year's video was viewed over 27,000 times and won the Tennessee High School Press Association (THSPA) Award for the best lip dub video at the 2021-22 THSPA Student Media Awards last March.

VELOCITY GRANT This summer, we received Velocity Grant funds that helped enhance the Broadcast Journalism program by providing the latest technology available. FRA's Annual Fund provides velocity Grants to stimulate existing programmatic growth across our campus to improve the student experience through dynamic and innovative practices. With our grant, the broadcast department purchased seven bundle kits, each including a Canon camera, microphone, tripod, LED lighting, lens, and filters. Students are assigned bundle kits and are encouraged to use the equipment throughout the semester. Students also receive Adobe Creative Cloud on their personal computers, which allows them to create and edit in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat Pro. They also have full access to edit on the specialized equipment in the broadcast classroom or on their personal laptops. 

YOUNG ALUMNI IN ACTION

SARAH HAWKINS graduated from FRA last year and recently landed a paid

internship with Hail State Productions at Mississippi State University.

Hail State Productions provides opportunities for students to work behind the scenes at sporting events airing on the SEC Network and ESPN. Sarah is responsible for capturing video and editing show segments for the athletic programs. "Thanks to Mrs. Zenner’s class and the confidence she gave me during the two years I took broadcast journalism, I still get to edit and create videos I love," said Sarah.

"I mastered Adobe Premiere Pro and learned how to set up a camera shot and create videos."

Sarah plans to use her production skills to further her future career in real estate and interior design by creating video tours and 3D/4D designs. Sarah learned the fundamental skills that helped her land her internship from the broadcast classes offered at FRA.

VEX Robotics THE LOWER SCHOOL ROBOTICS CLUB BUILDS FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS AND EXPANDS PROGRAMMING TO INCLUDE OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS BY

ANGELICA MARSH, Lower School Robotics Coach

Franklin Road Academy is committed to providing cutting-edge technology and innovative learning opportunities to prepare our students for a rapidly changing world. With the addition of our lower school club, the robotics program at FRA spans all three divisions.

In the lower school, students are introduced to the VEX robotics 123 (PreK), VEX Go (K-2), and VEX IQ (3-4) within the curriculum of the media center. VEX encourages creativity, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving among groups. It values the importance of learning from failure.

In the pre-kindergarten years, students learn to code using programmable robots. As they move into our kindergarten through fourth grade media classes, students learn using a construction system that provides a natural inquisitive approach to building robots based on specific challenges, and students must modify their robots as the tasks change.

ROBOTICS

21 | 4700 Fall/Winter 2022

In addition to the introduction of VEX in media classes, families can choose to sign up their child for after-school robotics classes that dive deeper into coding and provide mock competitions to prepare for a future third and fourth grade team in 2023. This group of students meets once a week after school, and as they enter their third and fourth grade years can choose to spend their recess time working on their robots in the lower school innovation lab.

Since introducing the program in the spring of 2022, my initial goal was to gather interest and see if this was something students and families genuinely wanted. To my excitement, robotics has been a highly sought-after program, and several students have attended it in the spring, summer, and fall.

Because of this consistent interest from so many students, I shifted my objective to advancing the skills of those students to create the third and fourth grade competitive team next year. We will introduce the students to the competition kits for VEX IQ and start the robotics team adventure together.

By creating mock competitions and eventually a lower school robotics team, we provide an early introduction to better prepare students to join the highly competitive middle and upper school robotics teams. The early exposure will allow students to work on the core components of being an effective robotics team, focusing on each team member's role and strengths, and understanding how those skills can be combined for optimal success. 

The lower school robotics team is an essential component of our strategic initiative to expand innovative programs. We recognize that our students must be able to solve problems creatively in a rapidly changing world.

Participating in an advanced robotics program allows our students to lead and grow as they develop into thoughtful, well-balanced individuals.

Senior Spotlights ALAYNA MCINTOSH ’23 WHAT PART OF YOUR SENIOR YEAR HAS IMPACTED YOU THE MOST? So far, my senior year has been so emotionally impactful. I realize every day is one of my last on this campus, so I can’t help but cherish each one. Specifically, senior greeting and homecoming week this year reminded me why this place will always be a second home. There is so much to be excited about in this place.

WHICH CO-CURRICULAR HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE? My softball experience is one I would have never imagined for myself. I randomly picked up the sport, fell in love with it, and decided I wanted to become a skilled softball athlete. I worked on my skill and dedication to the sport for an entire summer. After that summer, I returned to school and saw my name as the starting catcher. The moment I saw my name on that roster was the highlight of my FRA career. Because of FRA softball, I learned that I can do anything I want if I work hard and pursue my passions. FRA has instilled resilience in me.

HOW HAVE YOU GROWN AT FRA? Since starting at the school in fourth grade, FRA has helped shape my identity into something much bigger than what I could have ever imagined for myself. I've learned to be a leader, mentor, and friend to everyone around me. My mentors, like Coach Hilkin, continually push me to become the most refined version of myself.

HOW HAVE ACADEMICS CHALLENGED YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR YEARS AT FRA? FRA has challenged me to take responsibility for myself and my academic rigor. Each of my teachers has encouraged and pushed me while meeting me with assistance and fun throughout the process.

Q A

BEN BRADSHAW '23 WHAT ARE YOU INVOLVED IN ON AND OFF CAMPUS? I try my hardest to stay involved in several activities FRA offers outside the classroom. I am a member of the football and soccer teams, a part of the broadcast club, a freshman mentor and student council member, a seventh grade flag football coach, and a Turner Fellow.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN MOST AS A TURNER FELLOW? I learned to be a leader and make an impact in the lives of those who depended on me. I had to show up each day with energy and ideas. I learned to be a friend and a mentor while balancing the tasks at hand each day. I left that experience confident in my leadership, planning, and management abilities. I also realized I could positively impact my community by simply getting involved.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT FRA? I've been at FRA since fifth grade. This school community has molded me into someone I wouldn't have recognized before middle school. I've felt challenged, pushed out of my comfort zone, and inspired to become the best person I can be.

WHY IS FRA SO UNIQUE TO YOU? Having a family connection to the school makes it all so much more special for me. I want to live by the legacy left by my grandparents but also build on it. I want to continue the values my grandfather instilled, service, scholarship, and community while urging the students and myself to construct our own. This is what makes FRA so unique: the ability to create your own path academically, athletically, and artistically, all with support from an eclectic, inspired community with strong values.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO AN INCOMING FRA FRESHMAN? Challenge yourself, be involved, and step out of your comfort zone. Coming in the first year, besides sports, I wasn’t too involved. Showing up and investing in the student experience that FRA allows you to have is a privilege. Dig deep and let yourself be a part of the community, the arts, the athletics, and this incredible campus. You may not think some small involvement will have an impact, but it will. Finally, let the people around you help. Students, teachers, and more will want to aid your journey if you ask.

IF YOU COULD PUT YOUR FRA EXPERIENCE IN A FEW WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT? FRA is a place that has allowed me to gain experience and grow in many ways: academically, spiritually, athletically, and socially. Each day I learn something new and walk out the door knowing I can influence the world around me.

WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FROM FRA AND APPLY TO LIFE IN THE FUTURE? Because of FRA, I’ve learned to challenge myself constantly. I’ve learned to invest in the community around me and lean into those hoping to help grow me.

I’ve learned to seek support while allowing people to challenge me because the school has taught me that I can improve continuously in such a supportive and engaging environment.

The Six Dimensions of Wellness BY

ALLISON HAMMAT, Director of Counseling

While the concept of wellness often revolves around physical and mental wellbeing, wellness experts understand that there’s much more to it than that.

Wellness includes so much more than the foods you eat or the time you spend at the gym—according to the National Institute of Wellness: “Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence.” The National Wellness Institute promotes the Six Dimensions of Wellness: emotional, occupational, physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual. Addressing all six dimensions of wellness in our lives builds a holistic sense of wellness and fulfillment.

to communicate effectively and build positive relationships that extend to satisfaction in all areas of your life, such as friends, family, school, and work.

This area of wellness is important as it directly affects the way you show up as an individual and contribute to your community.

You can enhance your social wellness by simply expanding your network of people. Try reaching out to old friends and sparking new connections with those who share common interests and values. When you build these connections, your life will feel fuller and more enhanced. You can further this practice by creating spaces for more socialization and interaction.

If you enjoy reading or cooking, this could be an opportunity to set up a virtual club or meeting to discuss and interact with like-minded people. As humans, we thrive off social connection and the positive energy found within a group setting.

OCCUPATIONAL WELLNESS Work with purpose.

In an effort to live a more vibrant and holistic life, your occupation should reflect your core values and overall mission in life. Occupational wellness is achieved when you can find a job or purpose in life that uses your gifts, skills, and talents. This wellness factor in your workplace will extend to feelings of satisfaction in all other areas of your life! If you find yourself leaving each workday drained of energy or dreading the next time you step foot in the office, you may not be on the right career path for achieving your best self.

which went much better than expected. When I got the email, I opened it, hands shaking, to see “Jo March: Dylan Anderson” on the top of the cast list.

I completely freaked out. I couldn’t believe it was happening. I was going to be starring in my first high school musical, and I couldn’t wait to go back to school and begin rehearsals. While I was thrilled to play Jo, I was infinitely more excited to be with my cast mates, whom I hadn’t gotten to be with since The Little Prince. They are the ones who consistently make me a better performer and a better person. I don’t think you can find anyone as uplifting, encouraging, hilarious, and kind-hearted as the people in the FRA theater department. The cast is like a family; I would trade any role, even Jo March, to have that.

Through the FRA's fine and performing arts program, I've learned countless things, including how to be adaptable, seek new opportunities, and push myself to grow in the

world changing around me. When I came to FRA in fifth grade, I knew I wanted to pursue my passion for the arts.

I was confident FRA would sharpen my skills and help me become what I wanted to be.

The fine arts have always been a huge part of my life, and the programming at FRA was my incentive for becoming a student here. Immediately, I was welcomed into a community both in my school family and also my fine arts family. I became excited and hopeful for my future and for each day I could come and learn on this campus. I found an escape and a world of my own through theater, choir, and the mentors leading me in the department.

Mrs. Jewell has always been there for me. Before retiring last year, she taught me more than I could imagine. I know I will leave this place as a better musician because of her and as a better human who can find passion in the small things and joy in each day I take on. Profesora Moix believes in me daily and cares immensely for whom I am becoming as a student and woman. Mr. Sanford cares about investing in who I am and how I can strive to dig deeper and think critically.

I am so grateful for each year I have had to participate in FRA's fine arts department and have felt supported in each avenue of my student experience here. Spiritually, I have seen my curiosity for Christ grow as I am shown the Gospel daily by those around me. Because of my involvement in FRA fine arts, I am open to continuing to become who I hope to be. I've been challenged to try new things, work hard, have fun, be open, and always be kind.  Harper started at FRA in fifth grade.

of those involved in FRA fine arts, I have become the most authentic and best version of myself.

Since my first years at FRA, I have watched myself transform. If this place has taught me anything, it is how to be myself. I've been further prepared and challenged in my musical and theatrical abilities, but I have been equipped with the confidence to do hard things. I have learned how to preserve and uplift others and seek a close-knit community that challenges and cheers me on.

season was one I will never forget. This school year, there has been a lot of excitement surrounding athletics, from developing athletes to the FRAternity, and community support on and off the field. The coaching staff has awoken something new in us this year, teaching us the principles of motivation, discipline, and passion. The culture and dynamics of the football program has shaped every aspect of who we are as a team and as brothers. We are all looking out for each other and our mutual relationship. Our compassion for one another has taken our team to another level and impacted each game this season.

This football season has sparked a fire in me and made me excited for my future in athletics. The game against Christ Presbyterian Academy is a moment that will stick with me forever. Winning that game on their Homecoming was an

Spiritually, I know how to practice and model my life as Jesus did. I have learned to love people where they are and to be myself. I've been molded by teachers and faculty who want me to be my best self.

Eric Brandon '00 ERIC BRANDON attended FRA from 1994 to 2000 and was a standout multi-sport athlete competing in football and baseball. During his upper school football career, Eric was named Regional Player of the Year as a sophomore, All-Region his sophomore, junior and senior years, and All-State his senior year. As a member of the varsity baseball team, he was named All-Region, All-State, and District MVP all four years of high school. In his junior and senior years, Eric was named Player of the Year. The baseball team captured the State Championship title his senior year, and Eric was named State Tournament MVP and second-team All-American.

Coach Edward Zaborowski shared, “I remember Eric as the consummate athlete. Very few high school athletes have the control of their body as Eric had. His movements seemed effortless but belied the amount of practice and preparation that made that possible. Whether on the football or baseball field or the basketball court, coaches relied on Eric to make the deciding play. Eric was a fierce competitor with a humble heart—truly a great athlete.”

Eric earned his bachelor’s degree from Auburn University, where he received a scholarship to play baseball. As a sophomore, he pitched the only nine-inning perfect game in Auburn baseball history, leading the team to a 9-0 win against Murray State and making him the first SEC pitcher to achieve this accomplishment since 1963.

After graduating from Auburn, Eric played for the Minnesota Twins organization for two years. From 2010-2016, he coached a youth travel baseball team and still provides pitching and hitting lessons to local athletes.

"In 1985, my amazing journey at FRA began.

Twelve short years later, my class graduated and went off to begin adulthood. Twenty-five years after that, a new journey began at FRA with me as a parent and my daughter, Grayson, as a student.

With all the new buildings, clubs, athletics, and programs, the school has many great additions since my time. However, some qualities have not changed.

Still alive and strong at FRA are the intangible qualities of lifelong friends, Christian ethics and tenets, a fantastic sense of community, superb academic preparedness, self-respect and confidence, and drive that serves all well in his or her adult life. As I look around and see many other classmates or friends from other schools now at FRA as parents, and even as teaching faculty, my wife and I are so excited to experience this incredible journey with Grayson.”

PHILANTHROPY REPORT 2021-22

63 | 2021-22 Philanthropy Report

T

Thank you for reading our Report on Philanthropy for the 2021-22 school year.

This report highlights the many who have given their time, talent, and treasure, empowering us to fulfill our school's mission to provide a challenging academic experience in an inclusive Christian community. Our mission is unique and compels us to pursue excellence in all we do.

In the following pages, we celebrate our Unique Moment in Time capital campaign, our Annual Fund, named endowed funds, scholarships and awards, alumni giving, and special events like our Golf Classic and annual Stars and Guitars events. You will also find lists of volunteers who have supported the school by giving their time and energy. In reviewing these efforts, I hope you share the same sense of gratitude for the impact they have had on the lives of the students and families we serve here at Franklin Road Academy.

The incredible support our school receives reflects the strong sense of community we have here at FRA. Philanthropy is the difference between good schools and great schools. When members of our community invest in the school as they are able, no matter the amount, we share in the impact the school has in the lives of our students. That is why we emphasize the importance of participation in annual giving each year.

It reflects a remarkable community invested in the mission of our school. We are proud that, over the last five years, we have averaged over 90% parent participation in our annual fund when the industry average of independent schools across the country is less than 70%. When we give, we have the opportunity to actively participate in the school's mission to "develop leaders of integrity and purpose."

In this report, you will see testimonies of a few current families and a family of an alumnus of what compelled them to support the school philanthropically. Reading their stories, you will hear that our families believe in our school's mission and have witnessed the steadfast approach to delivering the mission with excellence daily. Whether it be through diverse learning experiences, the strength of our inclusive Christian community, or the opportunities we provide for students to pursue their passions, each of them has experienced the return on this community's investment in the school.

I am deeply appreciative of our board of trustees and leadership who faithfully serve our community. We are blessed with strong leadership, and our students and families are the beneficiaries of their service. I am also thankful for our development and communications teams for the work they do, often behind the scenes, to ensure our school has the resources it needs to provide an excellent student experience.

The collective efforts of our community have had an incredible impact on our school, and the progress we have seen on our campus has been remarkable. I am humbled by God's faithfulness and live in the hopeful anticipation of what He will accomplish in and through this school in the years to come. Thank you for partnering with us.

Sincerely,

Ryan Harris Assistant Head of School for External Affairs

Capital Campaign

CELEBRATING THE UNIQUE MOMENT IN TIME CAMPAIGN BY

JILL JOHNSON, Director of Capital Campaign and Planned Giving In 2017, following a year of strategic planning and a subsequent master planning process, FRA’s historic capital campaign was launched. A generous donor offered the school its largest single gift ever to kick off this important effort, inspiring the FRA Board of Trustees and our community to move forward with a comprehensive capital campaign that has had a transformational impact on our campus and, more importantly, our student experience.

Today we celebrate the successful conclusion of this $27 million capital campaign – the largest in FRA’s fifty-year history!

The overall goal of the campaign was to ensure that the architecture of FRA’s campus both honors the school’s unique mission, purpose, and vision and that all of our spaces reflect the exceptional academic experience we provide and the extraordinary interactions that take place between our students and our faculty. Aesthetics and spaces matter, and today the demand and interest in an FRA education have never been greater. Additionally, during this campaign, FRA’s Annual Fund and the overall endowment doubled in size. Three newly named endowment funds were established to support student financial aid and students during Interim Week, as well as funding for faculty professional development.

We celebrate...

THE SCARLETT FAMILY CHAPEL

In 2005, FRA purchased First Christian Church, which included the chapel and the entire south campus. This property was of strategic importance to the school; however, specific plans for its use were undetermined at the time, and the chapel wasn’t used for more than a decade.

In early 2018, the chapel was completely restored and opened for the class of 2018 baccalaureate that May. The chapel, named The Scarlett Family Chapel after a generous benefactor, is a visible representation of FRA’s inclusive Christian mission and is one of the only spaces on campus that can hold the entire student body and faculty. The Scarlett Family Chapel is used daily by upper school for convocation, weekly by middle school for chapel, and by our entire school community for important events such as our annual Veterans Day assembly, Spiritual Emphasis Week, choral and Christmas concerts, and baccalaureate.

We celebrate...

THE WEICKER CENTER FOR STUDENT LIFE One of the great hallmarks of FRA is its sense of community, and the Weicker Center for Student Life provides the perfect backdrop for bringing all students – pre-k3 through 12th grade and faculty – together every day to celebrate this asset and build and strengthen our community.

The Weicker Center opened in August 2019 and was named by the capital campaign’s lead donor in memory of beloved teacher and coach, George Weicker, for the many contributions he made in the classroom and on the athletic fields and because he loved and mentored so many FRA students over the years.

THE ATHLETIC CENTER AND CROCKETT & TANSIL FITNESS CENTER At FRA, what happens outside the classroom is almost as important as what happens in it, and athletics is essential to a complete and rich educational experience.

Students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities, and more than 80 percent of students in grades 5-12 choose to participate in at least one sport per year.

FRA’s athletic center opened during the summer of 2020. The 11,000-square-foot facility houses the stateof-the-art 3,500-square-foot Crockett & Tansil Fitness Center, coaches’ offices, four new team locker rooms, a training room, and athletic storage. The athletic center also features a digitized Hall of Fame that celebrates the athletic accomplishments of our students from the beginning of the school’s founding in 1971 to the present. There are four windows overlooking the performance gymnasium from this space. The building connects to the athletic fields on The Hill and features spectacular panoramic views from both locations. 

ALUMNI G I V I N G

Dear FRA Alumni, Last year was a special time for the FRA community as we celebrated our 50th Anniversary. It quickly became apparent that all of our gatherings had one thing in common—a great appreciation for the heart of FRA and our mission to provide a challenging educational experience in an inclusive Christian community.

Alumni engagement grew last year with increases in giving of time, talent, and treasure, all in support of the exciting initiatives taking place here on campus. Many alumni have offered their time to celebrate and connect with fellow alumni, while others have volunteered to serve on a committee, speak in a classroom, or support our school community events. We were overjoyed to see the number of alumni who made an Annual Fund gift in honor of the faculty that positively impacted their life.

Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. I look forward to seeing you in the coming year! If you have not visited campus recently, I invite you to schedule a tour with me to see the incredible work being done here at FRA.

Nik Simpson Director of Alumni Relations
