[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP above.

The boys get along very well. In fact, they forge extremely strong friendships that are long lasting. But there's an insularity to the school. They typically don't socialize with other boys from other schools. It's a very tight knit community and these friendships last throughout their lives.

I've been to many GP weddings and there's always a picture taken of the groom and the GP alums who are at the wedding. There's alway 10 or 20 in the group even in some locations far from DC.

The parents are a different story. You'll see parent groups formed associated with the sports teams. especially lacrosse and football. Tailgating, large groups at local bars after games and house parties are frequent. But outside of that, there's not so much interaction between parents. Much of that is unnecessary because many of these people have known each other for years, went to high school together, belong to the same parishes, and may even be related.

My greatest issue with Prep is being gradually addressed over time. It was the inordinate power of the faculty and the long tenure of some of the faculty, who I thought were just coasting. [/quote]
