[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ledecky money is flowing all over the Ridge. Has anyone been there lately? There facilities are incredible. Holton should be ashamed how shabby everything is. NCS has room contraints. Potomac is coed.[/quote]

What part of Holton is shabby?  Speaking of swimming, Holton has won the ISLs 2 years in a row and has 2 girls this year committed to swim for Columbia next year.  Also, I'm sure the girls coming out of Holton know when to use there/their/they're, something your school didn't teach.[/quote]

You have to be kidding? Holton needs to up their game in their sports facilities-rest of school also needs some upgrading. They have a huge endowment so there is no need to have bad fields etc. They should find a way or make one to fix this. Say what you want about Stone Ridge but their campus is incredible. No school comes close to what they have. Ledecky gave that school an infusion and the head of school was smart to leverage this.[/quote]

The facilities at SR are nice but I know girls who left SR for Holton and found it a huge upgrade. The academics at SR can’t compete with Holton and the sports are strong as well. I agree we should improve the turf field but it didn’t seem to stop lacrosse from getting to the finals last year. SR has some very smart girls but that’s more the exception than the rule whereas Holton is the opposite. There’s also less of a divide between athletes and non-athletes at Holton. At SR it’s two separate camps from what we observed.[/quote]
