The resolution celebrates the grand opening of the Washington School for Girls' (WSG) campus expansion at the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC) on December 9, 2025. WSG is an independent, tuition-free Catholic day school that serves girls in grades 3 through 8, primarily from underserved communities in southeast D.C. Founded in 1998, the school aims to close educational gaps through a rigorous academic program and holistic support, boasting a 99% high school graduation rate for its alumnae. The expansion, part of the "Building Dreams Campaign," includes a new 33,000-square-foot facility featuring classrooms, a cafeteria/auditorium, a library/media lab, a science lab, and spaces for arts and STEM education.
The resolution highlights the significance of this expansion not only for WSG but also for broader efforts in educational equity and community development, particularly for Black and low-income girls in the District of Columbia. The new facility represents a substantial enhancement of educational opportunities and marks a milestone in the school's growth from its original modest space at THEARC. The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes this achievement and its impact on empowering the local community.
