Our PS got into CMI mid-year, so you definitely may get a call. My advice is to visit the school, ask a lot of questions, and go with your gut.

Good luck!


ITS family here. This was our story hit in reverse. Have been very happy with ITS last few years.

Getting to #3 is no small feat! Interesting that it's moved so much recently.

Are you confusing the Prince of Petworth (rezoned to Bruce Monroe and moved in bounds to Hearst) with someone at GGE/GGW? GGW founder has been in Dupont for years.


NP here, I think they got their people mixed up.
