An Important Letter from the GPAA President    
thumb_Alumni Seal Bluesm.jpg

Greetings fellow Prep Alumni -

As you may already know, Georgetown Prep, having educated young men for over two centuries, has established itself as one of the premier Catholic secondary schools in the United States. Prep counts among its graduates leaders in business, government, education, athletics and science. As members of that group, we have a special responsibility to uphold the ideas and values that Prep instilled in us as "Men for Others." That responsibility includes supporting the very institution that has played such a major role in shaping the lives we live today, and I can think of no better vehicle to express that support than contributing to the Annual Fund.
