Volunteer for Admissions!
Help the Admissions Team!
Sign up to support our student recruitment efforts!
Washington Latin is a popular choice in the MySchoolDC lottery among many DC families. Others are not familiar with our school, or learn about it after the best window of opportunity (5th grade) is past for their children.
Latin is committed to ensuring equal access to information about our schools. And parents are key to this effort! Would you consider:
- Attending events on behalf of the school, such as EdFest on December 14?
- Putting literature in your neighborhood (library, rec center, laundromat, etc.)
- Joining a live or virtual Q&A with prospective parents?
Join us and maybe get a snappy volunteer tee shirt!
Questions? Please contact our team at admissions@latinpcs.org!
