Edmund Burke School Socks

Edmund Burke School is a progressive, co-educational day school in Washington, D.C., serving students from grades 6-12. Founded in 1968, the school is committed to a challenging and innovative curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and social justice. When the school administration sought to boost school spirit and create a sense of community among students, faculty, and alumni, they turned to custom socks as a unique and practical solution. The resulting design features the school's iconic owl mascot and blue and white color scheme, embodying the institution's values of wisdom and integrity. These custom socks have become a beloved tradition, worn proudly by students during spirit week, by teachers on casual Fridays, and by alumni at reunions, fostering a strong sense of belonging and shared identity within the Edmund Burke community.
