Orchard Farm football field was destroyed in the Great Flood of 1993. Prince Robert of Luxembourg was visiting and donated money to rebuild the field. The field afterwards was named Luxembourg Field in his honor.

The Orchard Farm Elementary School, the Orchard Farm Middle School, and the Orchard Farm High School are on the original campus, while Discovery Elementary School, at 500 Discovery Path Lane, opened in late 2010. The Early Learning Center, at 3489 Boschertown Road, opened in August 2016.[5]
