Wednesday, 2nd of August. The day we have all been excited for (or maybe even dreaded) since the end of last school year. Many familiar and unfamiliar faces make their way to each building. The halls fill up with baby blue shirts where light pink ones used to be. And classes start with students eager to learn and excel in this new school year.
Dalat has gone through and is incorporating many new changes this August. One being the obvious transition of grades and senior colours. Another being the new and improved library where people feel more comfortable and studious in. These changes are enough to make those from last year's senior class envious. With Anna Phuah (Alum) saying, "Ain't no way they gave them a nicer library; we should've had it!"
Dalat also welcomes new (and returning) staff members this year, such as a new athletic director, AP Chemistry and AP Physics teacher, an AP Statistics teacher, and many more. Including our new high school principal, Mr. Uzzle, who's worked at Dalat before and decided to return with his family. He says, "We came back because we love Dalat and felt God was leading us back here. The thing we love about Dalat IS the community. We love the closeness of staff and since the class sizes are small you really get to know your students. The thing I am looking forward to this year is being a junior class sponsor. I love how the class becomes close during this time together." Welcome to all the new staff members!
New and old clubs are also being brought back to the X-Block schedule, such as Food Science, The Dalat Scoop, and ECHO! All ran by our outstanding seniors!
Tia Moore (12) and Heeeun Bang (12), leaders of the new Food Science club, which will be held on X-Blocks Fridays, state: "We made this club to spread the love of food as well as science combined because we feel that the Dalat community doesn't recognise the importance of it yet." Our clubs at Dalat are an excellent way to join new groups and learn many things to be passionate about. We hope that many of you sign up for them!
Lastly, the senior class of '24 will probably be the class going through the most changes this August. With more privileges on campus, and this year being the year that determines the next chapter of our lives beyond high school. All the best to everyone with college applications, internships, and going through the last year of being kids (soon-to-be adults). I'll end this note with what one of our fellow senior classmates, Leyla Lee, has to say; "I'm so excited to have all the senior privileges now, like going out to eat yummy chicken rice!"
