Washington D.C. Field Trip Opportunity

We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for eligible senior students and AICE US History students! From November 2-5, 2024, we will be taking a school-sponsored field trip to Washington, DC. This is a unique educational experience for our students to explore the nation's capital, visit historical landmarks (such as the capitol building), and deepen their understanding of American History, American Government, and American Economics. 

Dates: Leave Saturday, November 2, 2024; Return Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Cost: The trip is sponsored by the school. However, students will be responsible for covering meals; there is a whole-group plan for meal coverage that will be discussed during the informational meeting.  

Criteria and Application Process: Due to limited availability, students will need to meet reasonable academic and behavioral criteria and complete a short application and essay to be considered for the trip. 

We will hold an informational meeting for all interested students and their families on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. During this meeting, we will provide additional details, including the criteria, application process, itinerary of the trip, and deadlines. In addition, I will have a brief meeting with all seniors and AICE U.S. History students on Monday, September 9, 2024. 

We encourage you and your student to attend this informational meeting on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria to learn more about this fantastic opportunity. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to an exciting educational trip!
