Notable alumni
The new school took over the site of the former Urban Military Academy, where Black had been commandant. Foxe became president, Black commandant of cadets, and Major Harry Gaver as headmaster. Black-Foxe attracted the sons of people in the film industry, thanks to its location and Foxe's Hollywood connections. Gaver died in 1954. In 1959, Toberman sold Black-Foxe to Raymond Rosendahl. Foxe retired as president the next year. In the early 1960s, Rosendahl changed its name to the Black-Foxe School. Rosendahl sold the school in 1965 to a nonprofit group. In 1968, the school's mortgage holder foreclosed on the campus and Black-Foxe closed permanently.
