Sigma-Mu is one of the oldest school traditions beloved by generations of Saint Mary’s students dating back to 1900 when girls sports were coming to the forefront at our school.

Recently, students of AP US Government and Politics traveled to Washington D.C. to apply course content to real-life settings. The trip was designed to give students a comprehensive view of the different branches of government and the role of the media. Students had the opportunity to meet with members of Congress, lobbyists, and media producers, offering them the opportunity to engage in Q&A sessions and to better understand how each component operates.

The trip to our nation’s capital embraced Saint Mary’s mission to prepare students for college and life. Students not only had the opportunity to see the course content in action, but they also made many connections and contacts in D.C., including opportunities for internships. This school trip also gave students exposure to a variety of job opportunities in the political realm.
