About The Carter Athletic Center
The Carter Athletic Center (CAC) is a 63,000-square-foot athletic and wellness facility on the campus of North Cross School.
The CAC originated as the vision of Beirne Carter, the parent of a North Cross School graduate and a member of the Board of Trustees for many years. The Beirne Carter Foundation was established in 1989 by Mr. Carter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Carter Machinery Company, Inc., of Salem, Virginia. At the time he created the Foundation, Mr. Carter placed an emphasis on health, education, local history, nature, ecology, and youth as areas where he foresaw opportunities to help.
With the gracious support of Mr. Carter, a well-appointed center was designed with the purpose of providing North Cross School and the surrounding community a facility that promoted the values of healthy competition and physical fitness to the development of well-rounded citizens.
