Welcome to the The Current!
The Current is the student news site of The Potomac School, located in McLean, Virginia. The Current was founded in 1993 and has been publishing important news and information for our students, faculty, staff, and community continuously since then. When The Potomac School transitioned to distance learning during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the editors, advisers, and administrators came together to effect a transition from a print newspaper to an online paper. We chose the SNO platform and are grateful for the extensive support we’ve received from SNO that has allowed us to be up and running in a very short period.  Our online paper, which is delivered through a web browser, a phone browser, and an Iphone or Android app, allows us to continue reaching students with compelling content that is frequently updated.
