On May 24, 2022, the Alumni of Color Network hosted its first in-person event, a celebration for alumni, parents and guardians of students of color, faculty, staff and students. It launched a new recognition to honor employees who have made an impact on DEI efforts and the Calhoun community at large, and through an open nomination process, the inaugural recipient was Upper School teacher Lavern McDonald. The event also celebrated our student Diversity & Accountability Board, included music performances, and recognized seniors of African descent with stoles for graduation.
