During a visit to the school last month, alumnus Dan LaVille '69 reminisced on his days at SFD, specifically the time he spent as a part of the DeSalian Newspaper staff. We enjoyed getting to spend time with Dan, and look forward to more visits in the future.

Alumnus Adrian Awuah '16 recently returned from a six month stint in Munich, Germany with Microsoft. While in Munich, Adrian worked with the EMEA Consumer Channel Sales & Marketing team. We wish Adrian luck as he begins his new role on the Cloud + Al Revenue Team.

On April 23, alumna Raina Jackson '20 broke the outdoor shot put record at UNC-Asheville during the Georgia Tech Invitational. Raina’s toss was recorded at 13.44 meters, breaking the previous record, which was set at 12.93 meters. This was Raina’s second record breaking performance of the year, as she broke the indoor record with a toss of 12.78 meters back in February.
