Every year, our College Office takes students on a College Tour to see college and university campuses all across the country. This year, over spring break, about 30 kids loaded up on a bus and began the trek north to the Virginia/Washington, DC area to visit some of the most beautiful campuses and prestigious schools in the country.

This year, they visited 9 schools, including the University of Richmond and the University of Mary Washington, Virginia Commonwealth University, the University of Virginia, Washington and Lee, James Madison University, George Mason University, , Georgetown University, and the George Washington University. They were supposed to visit the College of William and Mary, too, but their plans were derailed by a flat tire! Maybe next time!
