Congratulations to the Athlete of the Month winners for the month of August. These winners were chosen by their coaches based on their leadership qualities, work ethic, and other traits that represent what D'Evelyn wants to see in all of their Student-Athletes. They were chosen out of all the Student-Athletes at D'Evelyn. Jordan Laraway (12th Grade) "Jordan is a strong and influential leader both on and off the court. She leads vocally and by example, continually pushing herself and her teammates to strive for better. She shows commitment in both her academics and athletics and she's a true competitor which is one of the many reasons we love having her in our program. I believe that Jordan's work ethic will help push our program to a great 2022 season!" -Coach Haun, Head Girls Volleyball Coach
Easton Robberson (12th Grade)
"Easton Robberson has been playing golf all four of his years at D'Evelyn. Going from where he was at as a freshman until now is why he is deserving of recognition. Easton has consistently shown up to events with a positive attitude, a commitment to improving, as well as showing the younger kids on the team the right way to practice and carry themselves. Over the past four years he has improved tremendously and has worked on improving over the summer each year. Besides that, Easton has always handled adversity with his head held high on and off the golf course. His respectable approach towards golf and his teammates cannot be overstated and he will be truly missed on the golf team next year." -Coach Boswell, Head Boys Golf Coach

As a D'Evelyn graduate, I have a unique perspective. I experienced the Founding Document before I read it. Reading the document after graduating from D'Evelyn in 2012 was a powerful experience. It was not merely an outline for how a school should be structured, but rather a six year period of my life described in one succinct, thoughtful, and thorough document. It outlined from beginning to end the opportunities I was provided throughout my time as a student at D'Evelyn. In reflecting on the overarching themes that I took away from my education at D'Evelyn, I ended up with these 9 statements. During my time at D'Evelyn, I developed the following skills and abilities:
In reading the document, it came to life for me that every bullet point that I was able to pull from experience had been clearly anticipated and outlined by our founders. They deliberately laid out a path that every D'Evelyn graduate would take; they took the time, not to simply start a common school, but to start an uncommon school that would lay a solid foundation for all of its students. They knew that their program would impact a student's entire life. In returning to D'Evelyn I have the privilege of passing this foundation on to my students, your children. My colleagues and I deliver the core body of knowledge to your students day by day and year after year to prepare them for the world beyond our walls. You have given your children an incredible gift by enrolling them at D'Evelyn, a gift that I am excited to give my daughter, too. While there will be challenges and hard work, your student will graduate with the knowledge and ability to be successful in any future pursuit. I would encourage you to take the time to carefully read through our Founding Document, even if you have read it before. If you are a parent of a current D'Evelyn student, I would ask you to take the time to discuss it with your student. Tell them that D'Evelyn is preparing them to be a productive and engaged member of society with the power and potential to make a difference in the world. Help them see how in each of their classes, both current and past, that they are now one step closer to reaching that final goal: not simply building knowledge but also building strong character. If you are a parent of a D'Evelyn graduate, ask your child to reflect on the overarching takeaways learned throughout their time at D'Evelyn; compare them to the Founding Document. And as a parent, be proud of your student for taking on this challenging curriculum and engaging with a variety of subjects. Encourage them when they face challenges, and celebrate each learning opportunity. You have provided your student with a one-of-a-kind education. It is the gift that will keep giving! I am so excited to continue to partner with you as we begin the 2022-2023 school year. Taking the time to reflect on why we all chose D'Evelyn and what D'Evelyn promises our students will steer us in the right direction for an excellent school year!
