81. Dalton Reunions

For more than twenty years, Dalton alumni have returned to the school to reconnect with former classmates, teachers, and coaches as well as to see changes. Reunions celebrate five year intervals after graduation.

For more than two decades, Dalton alumni have been returning to the school for reunions. It gives the alumni a chance to reconnect with former classmates, teachers and see how the school has changed over the years.

Reunion night, which is usually the first Friday in June, celebrates classes coming back every five years. Every alumnus, regardless of when they graduated, is always invited to enjoy the night’s festivities.

The evening usually kicks off in the Martin Theater where current Dalton students perform their dances from DTW or sing. Great teachers have been celebrated in the past as well.

After the program in the theater, each reunion class is given its own space in the school to reminisce and catch up over dinner. 

Current and former teachers enjoy seeing returning alums:

“I always love seeing lots of former students and it’s especially rewarding when one of them says they remembered not to put Q-Tips in their kids ears because they learned the dangers of doing so from my seventh grade biology class,” said Judy Geller ’51, who recently celebrated her 60th year teaching Dalton science.

After dinner, alums tend to wander the halls of Dalton where they spent so many days as students, rekindling the memories of what makes the school so great.
