The Innovator Award
THEARC space, 16 years ago, transformed the way in which Washington School for Girls provided a holistic education to girls. This partnership could not have been possible without the innovation of Chris Smith and Skip McMahon. Their belief in our school’s programming and dedication to the community has allowed our school to again reimagine a future transformation.
