Although school was not in session on Monday, the Astronomy Club took time to visit campus together to view the Mercury Transit. They also ate brunch and listened to a curated soundtrack (including, of course, “Here Comes the Sun,” by the Beatles).

Luke O'Connell, religion faculty at Visitation and lecturer at Georgetown University, presented his work on St. John Henry Newman and the definition of friendship at the 20th annual fall conference of the University of Notre Dame last weekend. The conference theme was: "I Have Called You Friends."

"As a teacher I take seriously the obligation grow in knowledge for my students," said O'Connell. "Georgetown Visitation is a community that gives generously of its time and resources to allow its teachers to pursue excellence in our vocation."  

Seniors Kiera Dent and Cece Swartz have been named Semifinalists in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Competition, placing them in the top one percent of the 1.6 million students who took the PSAT. 

Meghan Smith originally ball-parked the number of people who would attend the Georgetown Visitation School’s annual Esprit de Noel Christmas Market Fundraiser at around 1,500 people. 

On Friday, that estimate was smashed as more than 2,800 people swept through the private school campus in the heart of Georgetown to shop and show their support.

This performance season, the Georgetown Visitation Masqueraders joined the Cappies, a high school theater awards non-profit that helps students think critically about shows and is 100 percent student-driven. Recently, student critic Cathy Kolesar '20 was chosen from submitted reviews of Washington Liberty High School's "Noises Off" to be published in Insidenova - Sun Gazette.
