Past Staff Luncheon Guests

 

Past Staff Luncheon

Homecoming was extra special this year as we welcomed back some familiar faces to the Alumni Gymnasium. The Alumni Association hosted a Past Staff Luncheon to honor our past teachers, mentors, coaches, and administrators who helped lay such a strong foundation for Carolina Day School. We hope to make this an ongoing Homecoming tradition for years to come. Thank you to all of those who made it!

 

 

We had a wonderful evening celebrating our 2023 Alumni Association Awards recipients on Friday, October 6. It was a great way to conclude all of the 2023 Homecoming festivities that day. Congratulations to Dave Johnson ACDS '86 and April Dockery '96 who accepted their awards surrounded by friends and family at the special ceremony. And, a special thanks to Kareen Ogle who accepted the Artists Hall of Fame Award for her late cousin, Mr. Bob Henson (1939-2012). The CDS community has so much to be thankful for and we continue to be amazed by all the accomplishments of our alumni, teachers, coaches, and friends. 

For more information about our 2023 Recipients, please visit the Alumni Association Awards page. 

Holiday Hoopla Basketball Game 2023

 

Congratulations to our alumni and staff basketball team for winning the 2022 Holiday Hoopla Basketball Game!

Several alumni showed up to join forces with some of our CDS staff members to take on varsity athletes in this year's Holiday Hoopla Basketball Game on December 16, 2023. This time honored tradition is an alumni favorite and after being Holiday "Hoop-Less" the past two years, our alumni came to play and took home the victory! The evening also included a Wildcat Burger Bar and an Alumni Holiday Happy Hour. Thanks to all of our alumni who participated and made the evening fun and festive!

We are looking for players to join us for the 2023 game on Thursday, December 14th! Please email alumni@carolinaday.org to join in this year's fun!

 

Ivy Building Reunion 2022

Ivy Building Reunion

We are still reminiscing about the Ivy Building Reunion held last September during Homecoming week. Many of our SGP, GH, and SG-GH attendees are still talking about the magical evening held in the old school auditorium. There are so many great stories and memories stemming from the glorious building and the campus of St. Genevieve-of-the-Pines. We hope to host another gathering in that beautiful gymnasium soon.
