In Year of Hope, Georgetown Visitation’s Hope Dickson receives national award
In the Jubilee Year of Hope in the Catholic Church, Hope Dickson – a senior at Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School in Washington, D.C. – was recently named as one of 10 Catholic school students across the country to receive the 2025 Youth Virtues, Valor and Vision Award from the National Catholic Educational Association.
At Georgetown Visitation, Dickson is an aspiring engineer who leads STEM activities with students at the school, and she also helps lead Visi4Life, the pro-life club there. She has also volunteered with teens serving at the Catholic Diocese of Arlington’s WorkCamp, and this past summer she had an internship with NASA.
“Her Catholic faith drives her service and advocacy,” the NCEA press release announcing the winners said about Dickson. That statement also noted, “Hope’s unwavering commitment to faith, service and advocacy inspires those around her, as she strives to make a lasting impact on her community and the world.”
