Founding Spirits Award:
This award recognizes significant contributions to the school and the embodiment of our founding spirits: Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, the Venerable Cornelia Connelly, and Saint Claudine Thevenet. Each of our honorees live the values that inspire our school each day including Catholic social teaching, trust and reverence for every human being, and civic engagement, and have demonstrated commitment to WSG’s mission through their service.
The Innovator Award:
THEARC space, 16 years ago, transformed the way in which Washington School for Girls provided 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.
The Advocator Award:
This award is dedicated to persons in the field of education who are making waves in how educators think about learning. They advocate for educators, decisionmakers, and families to see the whole child. This person or people represent an idea that WSG has used to inform our philosophies, perspectives, and pedagogy.
