Washington School for Girls Celebrates 28 Years!

WSG is preparing to transition into its new campus next year. So this year’s annual Founders Day prayer service included the creation of a time capsule to document the school’s first 28 years.

The time capsule was a great way to document the school’s milestones, special guests, and previous campuses. It was a fitting way to also pay homage to the many people who make the WSG community so special.

WSG students reflected on the importance of the school’s core values, which have been an integral part of its history and will still be a part of its future. Founders and friends from the school’s Founding Spirit organizations spoke about the shared history of the school and its community supporters. All stakeholders at the event joined in prayer and celebrated the milestones of WSG so far and the amazing accomplishments that are on the horizon.
