The Lifers Dinner is a special celebration honoring graduating seniors who have been students in all three divisions at D-E. This year’s event recognized almost 40 members of our Class of 2026. Head of School Dr. Calleroz White gave opening remarks, Upper School Principal Kim Lalli introduced the Lifers with amusing and touching anecdotes, and as is D-E tradition, each student feted a teacher or staff member who had become a mentor, coach, or guiding force during their time at D-E. Both the Lifers and their honorees received a commemorative mug to represent their role as a D-E Lifer or mentor. We truly thank these lifelong learners for being a part of our community for so many years—and can’t wait to see them engage creatively and compassionately in the world! Congratulations D-E Class of 2026 Lifers!
