The Potomac School

The final moments before this morning’s Commencement. Here’s to celebrating you today, graduates!

From fields days to Red-Blue Cup* tournaments, every division has been bringing the energy during these end-of-year traditions!

*You may see some faculty and staff members in purple - their neutrality didn’t keep them out of the competition, though!

Only 3 more days until these seniors become Potomac’s newest alumni. Their recent “Preunion” may be fresh in their minds, but their first Reunion is already on the horizon! 💙🧡

In grade 4, students learned about three ancient civilizations: early humans, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. Their end-of-year Egypt Day exhibition was a thorough celebration of the ancient culture’s history, traditions, and way of life. Parents, teachers, and fellow students explored the exhibition while listening to fourth graders share their knowledge through poster displays, sculptures, hands-on activities, and more.

Still singing. 🎶 Still dancing.🕺 Still not over Mamma Mia! 🪩

This past weekend, Potomac Theatre lit up the stage with Mamma Mia!, featuring some of ABBA’s most beloved hits from the 1970s. The production was a tremendous success, bringing energy, humor, and plenty of disco-era fun to audiences all weekend long.

More than 500 grandparents and special friends joined us on campus last week for one of our favorite community traditions! 💙🧡 Our guests got a glimpse of daily life at Potomac while they spent the morning alongside students in K-8 classrooms. From trivia to math games to sculpture, the day was filled with joyful moments across generations.
