Teresa E. Shook, or “Shookie” to the Foxcroft community, graduated from Foxcroft in 1930 and returned to the school shortly after her graduation as a faculty member. She taught at Foxcroft from 1932-67. She was head of the athletic program, director of riding, basketball coach, and director of the military drill program.

Shookie was a standout basketball player for Foxcroft, helping the School to a perfect record in her three years as a starting forward.
