My son goes to a school that would be considered a peer of Georgetown Prep.

I have to say all the kids in his Junior class are far too busy studying for crap like this. And the few that cross the line are not around long.

15-20% of his grade will go to Ivy League schools. Another 30-40% will go to “near Ivy” schools like Middlebury or Amhurst, or Colgate, etc. Most of the rest are doing Ohio State, Auburn, or Duke type schools.

My kid comes home from football practice at 5:30 and grabs a bite and hits the books until 10:30 every night. Flying lessons, Scouts and ACT study groups fill his weekends.

All the kids at the school are in the same boat.

There is no way that the party atmosphere described in the press could have taken place and Kavenaugh still make it to Yale. There just isn’t enough time.

I went to college with a large number of Georgetown Prep grads. They were good Catholic boys who liked to party (beer drinking mostly, I don’t recall much hard liquor and no dope smoking), but they also studied, and they all did well after college. Some very well. None that I ever met were sex fiends. One was dating his high school girlfriend through all 4 years of college, married her, and they are still married. Another married his college girlfriend, and they are still married. The school seems to foster an ethos of serving others, as I frequently hear that phrase from those guys.
