Community doesn’t just happen. It’s the students, teachers, staff, families, and alumni who make being at GDS special—and the Advancement team helps celebrate that. Whether we're coordinating socials to welcome new families, hosting community events with speakers like Justice Sotomayor or Ta-Nehisi Coates, connecting with distinguished alumni, or showcasing stories from the halls of GDS and beyond, our team is here to celebrate what it means to be a Hopper. Each member of the Georgetown Day School community helps make our School what it is—a place where students love to learn and learn to change the world. So we, the Advancement team, invite you to join us in advancing the School and our mission. Reach out to any one of us to get involved.
