One of Dwight’s longest-standing traditions, which has been extended across our global network of Schools in recent years, is the Camerer Essay Competition. It is named for Dr. Emil E. Camerer, who was a prominent educator in his day and Dwight’s Headmaster from 1895-1926.
For Garry McLaughlin, music is at the heart of everything. Hailing from the parish of Manchester in Jamaica, Garry believes that music can be a universal invitation for togetherness. No matter what language you speak or where you reside, music touches us all. We know Garry well from his work as a member of our dedicated Maintenance team; outside of School, he is the self-proclaimed “Metal Man” – his stage name and persona – and we sat down with him to learn a bit about his passion for music.
Dwight ignited the Winter season with its scholar-athletes dominating the swimming pool, fencing arena, basketball court, and cross country course.

Our 2023 Dwight Schools Global Concert marked many seminal moments: the return to our annual music festival in person in New York after three years, Dwight’s milestone 150th anniversary, and the beginning of our School’s next chapter.
When a dozen talented Dwight high school students faced off in the finals of this year’s Shakespeare Competition, sparks were flying! After grade-wide and semi-final rounds, they had impressed their English teachers, landing them in the culminating round and making it difficult for the judges to select a school-wide winner.
Senior Polina Nikitina, a singer, songwriter, and accomplished musician new to Dwight this year, brought her impressive talent and spark to campus — and in very short order galvanized attention for her passion project entitled “Gotham.”
It’s always a delight when we hear from alumni and that was no exception when Enzo Palaci Zani ’22 caught up with his former Varsity Boys Volleyball Coach Tiam Chuck with some exciting volleyball news of his own from the UK.
Our design and engineering curriculum starts with our youngest students in preschool.
As the lights dimmed at 566 Columbus Avenue, home to Dwight’s Performing Arts Center, audiences took their seats and anticipated the chaotic, comedic journey they were about to embark upon in this fall’s Mainstage Theater Production of The Liar by Carlo Goldoni.
