i was always proud to be an alumni of Washington-Lee High School and now I am even prouder, I have several friends who are teachers there and they said the atmosphere leading up to the event was electric. The nice thing was it was a closed event so it wasn't a dog and pony show with the students serving as a backdrop only. Go Generals.
