The Seton Equestrian Club has moved to Hideaway Horse Center (www.hideawayhorsecenter.com) in Brandywine, MD!  The club runs both a competitive show team as well as a beginner practice, so you do not have to know how to ride to join the Equestrian Club.

For more advanced riders, the Seton Equestrian Club participates in 5-7 shows per year run by the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA).  The IEA show series offers riders in grades 6th-12th a unique opportunity to compete in a sport that is normally not offered in schools.  Shows are held at local barns through Maryland and Virginia.  Through the IEA, students have the opportunity to earn scholarships towards their college education through awards in competition and through sportsmanship activities. For more information on the IEA, you can visit their website http://www.rideiea.org/about/index.html.

Equestrian Team practice will start the first week in September and club practice will start the first week in October.

Anyone interested in joining the team, should email Mrs. Bridget Rice or Ms. Rachel Turk at hideawayhorsecenter@yahoo.com for more information.

Please join Elizabeth Seton for their first Annual Golf Tournament to be held Monday, October 20th at the Crofton Country Club. Proceeds benefit Seton's new turf field. To play, sponsor or find out more, visit www.setonhs.org/golf

But those schools have such large endowments ($32 billion, in Harvard's case), coupled with a commitment to making college affordable for any applicant who can overcome their challenging admissions requirements, that students from low-income households can expect to pay a fraction of the schools' sticker price of around $60,000.
