Fox Family Performing Arts Center one step closer to reality after ceremonial groundbreaking at St_Edward_CCHS in ElginIL
It was more than 65 years ago, but St. Edward Central Catholic High School in Elgin left an impression on Geoff Fox and his brother, Robert.
Geoff Fox was on hand Friday for a ceremonial groundbreaking for the Fox Family Performing Arts Center. The $6 million theater addition is possible because of a contribution from the brothers that will cover roughly two-thirds of the cost.Fox was in the class of 1958, but his family moved to California at the end of his junior year after his brother's graduation.

The project will take 14 to 16 months to complete.The idea for a new theater was first considered by the school in the early 1970s and then came up again in their strategic planning process in the early 2000s as they hoped to strengthen their performing arts program.
It's not the first time they've given back to the school. In 2015 the Fox Science Center was dedicated after a donation. "We're in the position to give something back, my brother and I, so we're happy to do this," Fox said."The need was there, and my experience here was fabulous."
