[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised schools like Prep and Landon would even care about having a "national" lacrosse program.  It seems like a misplaced priority to me.  Prep should focus on being the elite academic school for Catholics, placing all of its kids in the best colleges possible.

Prep can have well rounded kids and a good athletic program, without having to waste resources, and deal pushy Dads and Coaches, trying to run a nationally ranked program.  [/quote]

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.  You are new to GP and maybe new to the area.

There already is one elite Catholic academic school. It's St Anselms.

Giblin's lacrosse program didn't start with a goal of being a National program. He just wanted to compete with conference mate, Landon. It actually consumes few GP resources. In fact, its a significant money maker for the school attracting a steady stream of applicants willing to pay list price.

GP's mission is to serve a Catholic community with a range of interests. They want a competitive sports program for the same reasons Harvard, Princeton and William want one. I'm sure the reasons are obvious, so I won't bother listing them for you.

Doesn't sound like its the place for you are yours. Not every family is obsessed with getting its kids into the "best colleges possible". Sounds like you should look at Sidwell.
