Alexa was drawn to the Mission of Wye River Upper School from her first phone call twenty years ago. She has remained committed to the school’s success ever since. First as a friend of the school, then as a Trustee, concluding with an eight year stint as Chair, Alexa generously shared her experience and deep understanding of what is required to sustain an independent school. Leading by example, her many dear friends felt her passion and joined her in support of the school and its’ mission. Alexa’s tenure included a successful capital campaign, enabling the school to purchase, renovate and reside in the Centreville National Guard Armory. Her impact on the success of a tiny but mighty non-profit is remarkable and permanent. The students and families who rewrote their own stories at WRUS are the winners. It was an adventure and a privilege to work with Alexa. I look forward to her continued friendship. I know the school will miss her.
