Study Hall Member Colin Hanner Wrote About The Origins of The 8th Grade Field Trip to D.C. Tradition
For Thrillist, Colin Hanner, a Study Hall member, reported on how the tradition of eighth graders from across the country touring D.C. came to be. In his well-reported piece, Hanner traces the origins of student tourism and contextualizes it with the rise of museum education. He also explores the more quirky aspects of these D.C. trips, such as a pilgrimage to the Hard Rock Cafe. The piece touches upon how the trip has grown to become an “opportunity for personal growth and cultural exposure.”
