Overview
Chevy Chase College and Seminary, as it was called when it opened in 1903, was a senior high school that also offered two years of post-high school courses. Often called a “finishing school,” by the time of its closure in 1950, it was a fully accredited junior college offering the terminal associates degree to all its students, many of whom went on to four year colleges. This exhibition explores the history of Chevy Chase Junior College and features personal artifacts, photographs, academic materials, and memories from students that attended the school.
