Dedication

This section makes absolutely no sense as worded. If someone wants to reword, feel free but I'm going to delete it for now. Dramma!

History

I removed the statement that potomac is the "best school in Virginia, 28th best in the country." Please don't make sourced statements, especially when you are claiming something as dramatic as this. Dramma!

I inserted a paragraph concerning the connection between Potomac School and Priscilla Hiss. The Alger Hiss trial in 1949 was a significant event in the history of Potomac School. It did not merely relate to spouses of faculty members, as one editor stated. Instead it concerned a teacher, the headmistress, and an application for admission to the school. I have substantially revised my original version to emphasize this connection. Jawillens (talk) 14:03, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

School Bus System?

Is there a source for the statement "Potomac is one of the few private schools in the D.C. metropolitan area to have a school bus system"? Because it seems totally inaccurate. It seems like every private school in McLean has a school bus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BK DC (talk • contribs) 06:59, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
