Browne Academy’s Eighth Grade Visits Capitol Hill
ALEXANDRIA, VA – Browne Academy’ 8th graders recently traveled to Capitol Hill as part of their “We the People” unit and study of the Constitution. They met with Congressman Don Beyer of Virginia’s 8th District, watched the House of Representatives vote and debate from the House Gallery, and toured the U.S. Capitol. The students are grateful to Browne alumna Antonia Hill (Class of 2008) and Congressman Steny Hoyer’s office for arranging their visit.
Founded in 1941 and situated on 11 rolling acres, Browne Academy at 5917 Telegraph Road in Alexandria was one of the first racially integrated schools in Virginia, and today serves students year round from pre-K to 8th grade. For more information, contact 703-960-3000 or visit browneacademy.org
