DC Prep was founded in 2003 to help ALL students in our nation’s capital get the education they need – and deserve – to live up to their greatest potential. Every year around this time, we get to witness our mission being fulfilled as we find out where our Preppies and alumni are headed off to high school and college! Jesus D. will be attending the University of Vermont on a full scholarship! Jesus recalls his time at DC Prep fondly: “It was a very rigorous academic environment, which helped me establish a routine of studying and other habits to excel in high school,” he said. “Ms. Fuller, my 8th grade math teacher, really prepared me for hard high school math.” At the University of Vermont, Jesus plans to study wildlife biology and work in animal conservation after graduation. “A full ride to college means the opportunity to continue pursuing my goals,” he shared. “It opens a door to more opportunity, especially because it won’t create financial strain for my family.”

School Year 2024-25 starts later this month! Our campus leaders have been hard at work, planning for an amazing school year with our Preppies to help them learn and grow. Let's make this an epic year!

One of the many teams working hard behind the scenes to prepare for an amazing School Year 2024-25 is our Academic Team, who helps our campus teams deliver on the DC Prep vision for our Preppies. Mary Pendleton has been with the DC Prep network for 8 years and is our new Senior Director of Program! Mary works with our content directors and campus leaders to make sure that all aspects of a DC Prep education are implemented well. Please join us in congratulating Mary on this new role in our network! #WeAreDCPrep

DC Prep was founded in 2003 to help ALL students in our nation’s capital get the education they need – and deserve – to live up to their greatest potential. Every year around this time, we get to witness our mission being fulfilled as we find out where our Preppies and alumni are headed off to high school and college! Winta B. will be attending Boston College in the fall! Winta chose Boston College because of her positive experience during Admitted Students Weekend – she felt a strong sense of community, which mirrored her DC Prep experience. She is planning to major in biochemistry and pursue a career as a pediatrician! Winta’s family chose DC Prep because they were looking for a school known for rigorous academics that would push their children to excel, as well as support with the high school placement process (Winta’s younger brother, Sened, graduated DC Prep in 2022!). After graduating from DC Prep, Winta went on to attend Sidwell Friends School. “My teachers at DC Prep pushed me to be my best academic self and get ready for the rigorous academic environment at Sidwell,” Winta shared. “Overall, my academic experience at DC Prep was a stepping stone for my success at Sidwell.” One of her favorite memories from DC Prep was when she won Preppie of the Month in 5th grade. “It was during a challenging time for me, when I was learning English,” Winta said. “It felt really good to be recognized, and it reinforced my desire to keep striving in all avenues.” Winta leveraged the resources of PrepNext during her college application process. “PrepNext is a big example of how DC Prep remains connected [to alumni],” she said. “I am really appreciative of [my counselor] Ms. Blakey. The support and level of care I’ve received from PrepNext can’t be found anywhere except PrepNext.”

From little seeds grow mighty trees! 🌱☀️🌳 This week our campus leadership teams across the six schools in our network came together to kick off our annual two-week July Leadership Retreat. Through learning, intentional planning, team-& relationship-building, and celebration, our leaders have been working hard to establish our collective vision and action plans for fostering high-quality school communities. We can’t wait to welcome and serve our DC Prep families in School Year 2024-25! 💙🎉💛
