Learning About the Divine Nine 

On Tuesday, February 21, the Upper School community came together for another Black History Month program, this time about “The Divine Nine.” These are the nine original Black organizations that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council – founded in 1930 on the campus of Howard University. Potomac employees and parents shared their personal experiences and journeys as members of these organizations. Audience members learned about how the organizations are first and foremost rooted in service. Speakers shared about lifelong connections they’ve made, networking, pledging and ‘crossing over,’ and the preparation that these organizations offer for life after college.
