Durham Academy’s fall athletics teams excelled in yet another challenging season of ever-changing health and safety protocols.
Kindergartners created their very own Venus flytraps in art class this fall as a complement to the kindergarten’s “Our Community” social studies curriculum.
Among those deserving of kudos: DA's speech and debate program; National Merit semifinalists; third- and fourth-grade math teams; and a host of impressive students and faculty.
This year’s This I Believe speakers included seniors Andria Shafer and Blake Smith; juniors Molly Hunter, Zoe Sinclair and Aaliyah Wines; sophomores Emerson Levin and Ash Granda-Bondurant; and ninth-grader Scout Ross.
