classes, our faculty and staff remain on-campus for a final week in June to give closure to the academic year and prepare for the upcoming fall. This “advance days” time period then officially comes to an end with the annual Faculty & Staff Appreciation Lunch – a last hurrah before the summer break begins. The luncheon includes special recognition of those teachers and staff members who have earned distinction as recipients of awards thanks to nominations from their colleagues, chairs, and the principals. As per D-E tradition, this year’s event also paid tribute to all our employees who have served D-E this past year for a ‘milestone’ number of years, including those individuals celebrating 10, 20, 25, and 30 years of service to the School. Of particular note was the standing ovation given to Diane Christian, English Department Faculty member, who has been teaching at D-E for 35 years and has made an incredible impact on literally thousands of students. Retiring faculty and staff were also honored. Three of these retirees will be honored again later this year during Reunion 2024, with classroom dedication events, due to having served at D-E for at least 40 years! Thank you and sincere congratulations to John King, John Stott, and Ginny Luciano, all of whom will have classrooms named for them.*
