When the Community of Hope (COH) held a grand-opening celebration for its relocated and expanded Family Health and Birth Center on April 30, many current patients, neighbors, and COH supporters had their first glimpse of the new facility on Bladensburg Road NE. One of the examination rooms at the 20,000+-square-foot center, the only freestanding birth center in the District, is named in honor of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School faculty and staff.

Long regarded as a lacrosse powerhouse, a legacy nourished under the guiding hand of Athletic Director and lacrosse coach Seamus Brophy, St. Patrick's is proud of its alumni from the Classes of '18 and '19 who have signed to play Division I lacrosse upon their high school graduations. 

The members of our exceptional Class of 2021 were able to do something they only hoped could happen after the year—or maybe the last two school years—they have experienced: They participated in a traditional, in-person Graduation, shared with family and friends, in the Nave on Friday, June 11. Even a few months earlier, the status of this event was difficult to confirm. However, instead of reconceiving the event in full, this year we were able to celebrate and honor our Grade 8 students as we should.
