Checkmate! D-E’s Thriving Chess Culture

May 3, 2024 | School Life Highlights

Thanks to D-E 360º and our Upper School Chess Club, chess has been a growing scene on campus! Chess Club held their first tournament on campus this past February, while D-E 360º has been hosting chess tournaments all throughout the year. The past D-E 360º tournament held in February brought 40 elementary students from 5 schools together. A big highlight was D-E 4th Grader Mack Goldberg ’32 winning 1st Place with a perfect score (all wins and no draws or losses!) Later in the month, our Lower School Chess Team won 4th place in their first state tournament––what a feat for our youngest students!
