Georgetown Preparatory School (also known as Georgetown Prep, GP, or GPrep) is a Jesuit college-preparatory school in North Bethesda, Maryland for boys in ninth through twelfth grade. It has a 93-acre (380,000 square meters) campus. Legally part of Georgetown University until their separation in 1927, Prep is the only Jesuit boarding school in the United States, and one of the oldest U.S. boarding schools still operating.
Georgetown Prep has been associated with numerous influential people since its foundation, with George Washington giving an address to its first graduating class. Notable alumni include two four-star officers in the U.S. Armed Forces, state and U.S. Senators, corporate entrepreneurs, two Medal of Honor recipients, and two of the nine currently-sitting justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.
