8th Grade DC Trip

This Washington, D.C. trip is a capstone experience for our 8th graders as they celebrate their final year at Travis TAG, Texas’s #1-ranked public middle school.

We are working together to give students a meaningful, real-world opportunity that deepens their understanding of history, culture, and civic life—while marking an important milestone at the end of their middle school journey.

The trip is funded entirely through participating families and community donations. Your gift helps ensure that every student who wishes to take part in this capstone experience is able to join, regardless of financial circumstances. Your contribution makes it possible to create an unforgettable and enriching experience for our 8th graders.

Thank you to for helping us send our students to our nation’s capital during its 250th anniversary for a memorable and inspiring hands-on experience.
