Head of School José M. De Jesús Hosts D.C. Area Alums Regional Gathering
The room was abuzz as an enthusiastic group of Alumni from the Classes of 1973 to 2018 joined Head of School José M. De Jesús, Head of School Emerita Ellen C. Stein, and Chief of Equity and Belonging Johára Tucker at Mission Navy Yard in Washington, DC on Monday, January 9.
Following Ellen’s welcome, José shared school updates, described enjoyable interactions with students, and talked about the essential role that alumni play in the school’s vitality. Along with the opportunity to meet José, Alumni were thrilled to discover so many other Daltonians living in the area — some even in the same field and the same employer. It was a wonderful way to kick off this year’s Alumni regional gatherings.
Chief Advancement Officer L.J. Mitchell, Director of Alumni Relations Samantha Koss and Associate Director of Alumni Relations Debbie Freeman also attended the gathering and provided administrative support.
