Lifers Dinner for the Class of 2024
A beloved annual event, our annual “D-E Lifers” Dinner, held up to tradition earlier this spring. “Lifers” are our senior students who have attended D-E in all three divisions. During this year’s dinner, each “Lifer” from the Class of 2024 — more than 30 in all! — honored one specific faculty or staff member who made a positive impact on them during their entire tenure at D-E. Students wrote short yet moving speeches thanking their honoree. Please see below for a list of all of our Class of 2024 “Lifers”.
Congratulations to all our Class of 2024 “Lifers” and their families, and a sincere thank you to our honorees for “making it better” for all of these students!
Middle School Musical Cast and Crew Get Ready for High School!
This year’s Middle School Musical is High School Musical JR., based on the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie in which Troy, the captain of East High School’s basketball team, and Gabriella, who’s at the top of her class, try out for the lead roles in the spring musical. The students end up drawn to each other, despite encountering some obstacles along the way.
The leads for D-E’s production include Ella Gorcie ’30, Owen Lee ’29, Brooke Cohen ’29, and Austin Tiemann ’30. According to Eileen Lynch, MS Theater Director and Drama Teacher, the idea to put on this show came about after a casual conversation with MS Principal Jonathan Davis. “We were commenting on the themes of togetherness and community woven through the show and thought it would be a good fit for the Middle School production here at D-E.”
Lower School Music Teacher Lisa Dove is the Music Director, and John John Tarrayo and Bella Savas will choreograph this dance-centric show, assisted by student Dance Captain Arianna Chan ’30. “I honestly think [this show has] helped some of us discover sides of ourselves we didn’t even know were there,” remarks Arianna. “It’s been a fun ride!”
