Washington School for Girls Expansion Recognition Resolution of 2025

This ceremonial resolution (CER 26-0114) formally recognizes the Washington School for Girls' campus expansion at D.C.'s Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC), scheduled for a December 9, 2025 ribbon-cutting. It celebrates the $25 million, 33,000-square-foot facility - featuring expanded classrooms, labs, and outdoor learning spaces - as a milestone for the school serving girls in grades 3-8 from underserved communities. The resolution has no binding effect, as it only expresses the Council's endorsement of the expansion's significance for educational equity and community development.
