As we wave goodbye to 2020, we want to say thank you to our #DAFamily for helping us successfully navigate this year and fall semester of uncertainty.
We wish you the very best in 2021 ๐๐ค
The Class of 2024 is a compassionate, interesting, curious bunch of young people โ all of whom were thoroughly celebrated this afternoon. A pretty perfect virtual approximation our traditional on-campus eighth-grade celebration! https://t.co/7fYCmiMCG2
@somegoodnews continuing a 34-year tradition, we hosted a virtual version of #Durham@SpecialOlympics to honor the student-athletes who trained all year for this event. Teachers, parents and students participated in a one-mile walk/fun run to show weโre thinking of them!
We're sad that we can't be together in person for tomorrow's #DAspecialO, but we're excited to cheer on our @SONorthCarolina friends virtually! #Walk4SODC

#MondayMotivation: Upper School technical theater director Jake Kavanagh's design rรฉsumรฉ may read like a who's who in the worlds of athletics, arts & entertainment, but the thrill of those bright lights couldn't hold a candle to his calling to teach. https://t.co/i8jty7F317
Next summer โ at the conclusion of 28 years as DA's director of athletics โ Steve Engebretsen will step down. As @daathletics longest-serving director, he's grown DA's athletics program to 20 sports & 47 teams, winning 44 state championships along the way. https://t.co/94RcsiQ0mf

Last nightโs finale of โThe Diary of Anne Frankโ was undoubtedly an emotionally challenging performance for the cast and crew. Thank you to everyone who came out to support them. Our hearts are with all who are hurting.
