Beatrice M. Foster, a white female teacher from Waterford, Virginia, was born on September 9, 1904. She attended various educational institutions, including Holton Arms, Vassar College, and the University of Grenoble for college, but did not hold a degree. In the 1955-56 academic year, she served as a principal at Lucketts School in Loudoun County, teaching grades 6 and 7. Despite receiving poor ratings in punctuality, attitude, and overall growth, she was noted for her good use of authority and cooperation with colleagues. Foster also demonstrated musical ability and was able to coach basketball. Her professional record indicates some unused sick leave and a limited number of years of experience, suggesting a relatively recent entry into the teaching profession.
