“Nothing that matters<br />

has been left behind.”<br />

Headmistress Carol Preston’s words of nearly 60 years ago, when<br />

The <strong>Potomac</strong> <strong>School</strong> moved from its charming yet cramped<br />

building on California Street in the District to a sprawling,<br />

wooded campus in McLean, could just as easily be spoken today. Seven<br />

months after the first students poured into their classrooms in the new<br />

Lower <strong>School</strong> building, life is humming along there as if it has always been<br />

so. Memories of the old have melded with the new, traditions have seamlessly<br />

migrated into the new spaces, children are learning and growing by<br />

leaps and bounds, and even longtime faculty have become accustomed to<br />

the views down the halls and through the windows.<br />
