    WSG featured on NBC4


    WSG was honored to welcome Barbara Harrison of NBC4 in November and to share our story with the Washington community. Looking back over our 20 years, the feature includes several of our founders, current students, and president Dr. Beth Reaves. Our success would not be possible without the dedication of those who believe in our mission. The segment beautifully captures the result of the collaboration, passion, and dream of a group of courageous women. Since starting in the basement of an apartment building 20 years ago, WSG has evolved into more than just a school for girls- it is a caring community, a devoted family, and a place to call home.


    We thank Barbara Harrison and NBC4 for sharing our story!

    WSG Celebrates 20 Years of Courage



    On September 29, the Washington School for Girls celebrated 20 Years of Courage with over 500 guests at Trinity Washington University. The evening program, emceed by Pinkie Dent Mayfield, featured students and alumnae and honored the dedicated service and commitment of Sister Mary Bourdon, RJM, to WSG for the past 20 years.

    This extraordinary event raised over $1,000,000 in support of student scholarship at WSG. All students at WSG receive a full scholarship to attend the school, which relies on private philanthropy to fund its mission.


    The program included the debut of our 20th Anniversary Video and performances and speeches by our talented alumnae Elyse Miller, '17, Shamaria Bell, '14, and Yolanda Long, '04 (pictured above) Current students lead all attendees in prayer, and presented their recent book reports during the welcome reception.

    The momentous celebration provided an opportunity for the community to honor Sr. Mary Bourdon, RJM as she passed the torch the newly appointed president, Dr. Beth Reaves (both pictured right with Board Chair Pamela Johnson and emcee Pinkie Dent Mayfield). The WSG community is grateful to all who have helped the school reach this milestone, and is committed to continuing its service to students of Southeast Washington, DC.

    In the Spirit of Courageous Women, WSG graduate participates in LearnServe International


    WSG is so proud of Class of 2015 graduate Andrenae B., who participated in LearnServe International's 3-week service trip to Paraguay in July. LearnServe offers service trips to over 100 students across the DC Metropolitan Area each year. They strive to bring students together- particularly those who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to collaborate with one another- to do their part in making the world a better place. LearnServe believes "in the power of young people to affect social change, and in the power of social change work to shape young leaders."

    Throughout her trip, Andrenae was challenged to learn first-hand what life and social change are like in Paraguay. In collaboration with the members of the communities they are visiting, the students work on projects involving health, job skills training, environmental education, and art. As part of the program, the participating students write about their experiences for the LearnServe blog. Andrenae shared, "gradually, I have pushed myself to be strong, to step out of my comfort zone, and to keep moving forward".

    To read more from Andrenae about her experience, see Staying Strong and Making Memories (July 10th) and Andrenae's Words of Wisdom (July 13th).
