[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=AnonymousAll I will say is this and I am not looking for a fight.  But have you ever been to GC's new campus in Olney?  Beautiful and great facilities.  HUGE campus! Enhanced academic programs.  New energetic teachers.

Ok, now consider this, if it weren't for the demand created by non-Catholics and the non-practicing Catholics and their willingness to pay the tuition, that state of the art campus would NOT exist. In other words, if the folks at GC only relied on practicing Catholics to support it, it would still be in the outdated site in Wheaton or not in existence at all. And the same can be said for a lot of Catholic schools in the area. [/quote]
The truth is that organizationally speaking, the local Catholic high schools are not much different from the local Episcopal schools, for example.  The high schools are independently operated and receive no funding from the Archdiocese.  They accept both Catholic and non-Catholic applicants.[/quote]

Actually the money at OLGC comes from the sale of the former site of the school on Georgia Avenue ... not frpm the handful of Protestants that are hitchhiking on the Catholic schools.[/quote]

Uhhhh nope!  I am the parent that had 2 kids graduate from there. Also I am very close to folks on the Board.  That sale did not cover the total cost of building the new school and it does not cover the costs of operating the school.  In fact, the school is soliciting donations for building out additional facilities.  Thanks for trying , though. [/quote]
