Our Mission…
is rooted in the heritage of three courageous women and educators: Mary McLeod Bethune, Cornelia Connelly, and Claudine Thevenet. In their spirit, The Washington Middle School for Girls provides a caring and safe environment for young girls who are living in an under-served urban area and are at risk of leaving school prematurely. The Washington Middle School for Girls offers a solid and holistic education in the Catholic educational tradition, featuring intellectual challenge, respect for diversity, and support for the spiritual, social and emotional growth of each student.
Our Strength...
is our commitment to each student, and belief in their gifts, talents and potential.
Our Promise…
is that from such an experience will emerge
young women of competence, compassion, and commitment to leadership in their
families and communities.
