[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here -- This is an interesting thread; would anyone care to comment on the same issue with respect to the girls' Catholic schools?  I would be grateful for insights from current or recent parents.     [/quote]

They are attended by the daughters of the same largely Irish Catholic families that send their sons to Prep and Gonzaga. And the girls date the guys from these schools.

I would guess its hard for people moving into the DC area to grasp just how insular the Catholic community is. here We moved here from Philadelphia many tears ago and are continually surprised at how balkanized the area is.

The Catholics who are natives send their sons and daughters to Catholic schools, belong to the same clubs, go to the same doctors and dentists and vacation in the same places. When you see a player for an non-Catholic school with what appears to be an Irish or Italian name on their shoulders, its a sure bet the parents are not from DC originally.

Npne of this means that they are cordial to others.  But when push comes to shove, like who is in or even invited to the weddings, its almost always the same crowd.

That's not to say your DD couldn't or shouldn't go to one of these schools. Its that you and she should know going in that these people feel strongly about their religion and their ethnicity.[/quote]
