Obama to visit LCHS!!!

(Read my recap post of this event here.)

President Obama will be hosting a rally this Thursday (August 2nd) at Loudoun County High School!

No matter your political party, this is a very historic moment and an honor for Loudoun County Public Schools (and LCHS) to have a president visit one of its campuses. I have never heard of a president coming to a Loudoun County school, but my gut says not to assume this is the first time.

Over the years, a few presidents have lived in Loudoun County. James Monroe owned a manor house at Oak Hill (It’s now a private residence), and John F. Kennedy owned a house in Middleburg, so it is entirely possible a president might have visited in the past.

The event is free, but you need a ticket to get in. Click here or here for more information.

I am so mad I am on vacation this week.

UPDATE: The Leesburg Today has posted a story on the history of Presidents visiting Leesburg.
