Carry On the Legacy: The 2026 ESD Alumni Giving Day

Thanks Mr. Rooney for all the fun in chemistry!

Chris Simpson

In memory of Christy Gaston Bass

In honor of Mrs. Simpson

Mrs. Simpson knew exactly how my brain worked and how to teach me chemistry. The fact that I made A’s and B’s in that class is a little unthinkable. It’s all because she knew how to teach chemistry in different ways as to understand.

Wonderful memories of ESD days!!!

In honor of Claire Mrozek & Joe Snyder

Thank you for your incredible years of service!

Mr. Randall

In honor of Joe Snyder

In memory of Dax Wolfe and Adam Prinz

Joe, What you have given of yourself over these many years is unparalleled. Your passion, leadership, patience, talent, creativity, and joy are unmatched! We are so grateful for you!!! - Liz (Lozier) Farrar

Eason

Mr. and Mrs. Salz!

In memory of Jerrie and Fred Smith

Mrs. Acuff

Also a parent of 2 esd students. Norma Simpson had biggest positive influence on me.

I was fortunate to have so many wonderful teachers during my time at ESD, but a few who really made an impact on me were Mr. York, Ms. Patterson, Mr. Azzi, Ms. Raymond, and Mr. Randall

Frank Satarino, Dan Boatwright, and most of all Fr Swann

Rebecca Royal made a huge impact on me! But there were so many great teachers too!

Mrs Herd, math :)

So many teachers could be mentioned here, but given that she passed away this last year, Dottie DeLaGarza is top of mind. A tremendous teacher with an unmatched passion for her students’ success.

In honor of Connie Elms

All the teachers and coaches!

In honor of Kenneth Lindh

In memory of Kenneth Lindh

In memory of a dear friend of the class of ‘89, Kenneth Lindh.

When I look back through the viewfinder of my time at ESD, I think of throwing a surprise party for Mr. Kimball that went terribly awry and set off the smoke alarm for the whole school while he laughed until he was crying. I think of our theater productions and singing in chapel and Joe Snyder looking at me through the corner of his eye with knowing sarcasm from the piano while he challenged me to try a little harder at my singing gift that came maybe a little too naturally to me. I recall feeling truly smart for the first time thanks to Mrs. Mrozek really SEEING me, my love of the written word - and the emotions I could convey through it.

In honor of Charlotte Carothers Huthnance

Dr. C and Mr. Auge

1989

Elaine Biewenga and Suzette Carona both lifted me up and gave me the confidence to explore my creative side, and I am forever grateful for their encouragement.

Fr Swann & Peter Lutkin
