2025 Washington, D.C. Trip
(Class of 2030)
Springboro's annual eighth-grade student trip to Washington, D.C. and Gettysburg is Oct 22-Oct 25, 2025. Springboro district staff and parents will chaperone the trip. The tour company is Classic Student Tours, a local agency that specializes in Educational Student Travel Programs. Classic Student Tours has coordinated the Washington, D.C. trip for Springboro Schools since 1995.
Please listen here for an overview of the parent meeting on February 26th, 2025.
The total cost of the Washington DC trip is roughly $1030.00 for students and $680.00 for parents.
A combination of parents and staff will chaperone the tour, which will be arranged by Classic Student Tours. All students are required to be in a group chaperoned by a parent/guardian (Typically 1 parent and 3 students). SJHS is not responsible for assigning students to rooms. It is the responsibility of students and parents to coordinate room assignments. If you are having difficulty finding a parent/chaperone, past travelers have had success using the Class of 2030 Facebook page to connect with others.
After further discussion, we will be allowing alternative room assignments. The following configurations are available; however, please note that prices for these options will be higher:
- 1 adult and 1 student in a room
- 2 adults and 2 students in a room
- 1 Adult 2 Students in a room (Contact Classic Student Tours for Pricing)
All parent chaperones are required to complete a background check. For more information, please visit the Volunteer Information section on the school website.
This final payment needs to be paid by Sept 5th and you need to make that payment by calling Classic Student Tours directly at 937-439- 0032. You can also make payments online at classicstudenttours.com.

Items to Keep in Mind
Pack the following in a small suitcase for the hotel:
Enough clothes for three days, toiletry items, and snacks. Suitcases are stored in the luggage compartment beneath the passenger section of the motor coach. They are not accessible to the students until we check into the hotel on Wednesday evening. Do not put any items in the suitcase that may be needed before we arrive at the hotel on Monday evening.
Pack items the first day in a small carry-on bag to bring on the bus (snacks/lunch, phone, camera, reading material)
Bottles of water with closed tops and snacks are allowed on the motor coach.
Soft Drinks (or any colored or carbonated beverages), ice cream, and coolers are not permitted on the bus.
Bring reading materials. Electronic devices, including cell phones, are only allowed with headphone attachments.
Do not wear new shoes! We will be doing lots of walking and they will get dirty.
Bring suitable clothing for the weather conditions (dress in layers), including rain.
An older, small pillow or blanket will make the ride more comfortable.
It is not recommended to bring valuable items. Cameras are allowed.
Spending money for snacks, souvenirs, etc, should be minimal. Carry money safely on your person at all times!
