The Evolution of Girls' Sports at Fieldston. Recalling that in the 1960s the girls’ sports program provided so much less than the boys’, Gus Ornstein ’94, ECFS Director of Athletics; Diane (Schuie) Schumacher, Physical Education teacher in the 1970s; and Diane Toth, Physical Education teacher and girls field hockey coach, discussed how Title IX changed the athletics department and strengthened the culture of girls’ sports at the School.  They were joined by Kevin Webb ’88, Title IX Training Manager at Howard University. This event was suggested by members of the Class of 1970 who wanted to hear about Fieldston past and present through the lens of an athlete. View the recording here.
