Nathaniel Huxtable ’22
“Wilmington Friends School prepared me to get the job done. Whatever task it may be, I am not afraid to take it on and give it my fullest effort. The worst you can do is learn. My WFS education also instilled the Quaker values such as integrity and stewardship through example and engagement, both in the classroom and in the community. I also learned the importance of asking questions not only to learn but to challenge others to do the right thing regardless of what it looks like.”
Nathaniel Huxtable ’22 is a senior student-athlete at The College of Wooster. This summer, he worked as a Foundation Intern at The Home Depot. He and his team developed training resources to increase volunteer engagement within Team Depot. They established project partnerships nationwide for the Celebration of Service Campaign, building connections that supported annual efforts to strengthen communities in need. He also played in the Sunbelt League with the Atlanta Crackers, helping them win the 2025 Sunbelt League Championship.
On the baseball diamond this spring, the Political Science major had an excellent season for the Fighting Scots. He helped lead the team to the NCAC Championship game; Huxtable appeared in 33 games, recorded 32 hits, had a .396 on-base percentage, and scored 22 runs.
