Our Stories
Turning to Andre Gerschel’s page in Dwight’s 2006 yearbook, one sees into his future: alongside childhood photos and moments in time with friends and family is a collage of restaurant matchbooks.
A truly internationally minded educator who has lived on several continents, Marie Nieto brought the World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) to Dwight — and was named Coach of the Year at the Global Round in Beijing in the same year!
Almost immediately upon launching in 2015, Spark Tank quickly became one of our school’s signature programs, fueling students’ ideas, imagination, and ingenuity. With each passing trimester, more and more students dive into Spark Tank to develop products, businesses, and non-profits of their own imagining.
