Abbie Litonjua, an 18-year-old Senior Wolverine, was recently featured in The Washington Post for her reflections on voting and the upcoming election. Through her Advanced Placement Government class, Abbie explored her political beliefs, shaped by family, religion, and personal experiences.

In the feature, Abbie shared poignant memories of her family's reactions to past elections, the influence of her father’s immigrant story, and her progressive Catholic values. Her story highlights the power of education and personal experiences in shaping young voters' perspectives.

Abbie’s voice not only represents her generation but also embodies the spirit of civic engagement and critical thinking cultivated at West Potomac. We are proud to see our students actively participating in and reflecting on the democratic process!
