I haven't personally heard of half of the Secretary level folks in DC but I bet that the schools consider those people VIPs

Your school cares. Many of your fellow parents care.

Any cabinet level official would be a VIP, yes. Any federal cour of appeals judge - but not district court - would also be a VIP. Some but not all Agency Directors are VIPs.

Business wise the list is likely one or two people at major corporations. Think the CEO of Marriott.

Individual schools have their own list of VIPs too. They care about different NGOs. Catholic schools may care if you’re related to a Cardinal… but other schools may not.

SCOTUS (GDS), Secretary of anything in Biden’s cabinet (all the Big3 have this), news anchor (NCS/STA have this), sports celebrity (Potomac has a few, CEOs of big companies (all of the big3 have this).

I don’t know who doesn’t see the irony in this post after reading the mother so offended that some nobody was trying to get an angle to be her friend because her kid went to a Big 3. These people do the same thing with “power players” at their own school, vying to get near them. Lmaof

The sports figures are far more coveted as fellow parents than the politicos. Half of our parent group is doctors and lawyers (some partners, some GCs) so that's dime a dozen. The lawyers and doctors *are* the ones drooling over the fellow parents somehow in sports.
