Special Events

Welcome

From our annual September Volunteer Kick-Off in partnership with the D-E Parents' Association and our wonderful Head of School Society gatherings to the Bulldog Bash – our premier annual event to support financial aid programs for students who otherwise would not be able to attend Dwight-Englewood – exciting and engaging special events at D-E take place throughout the year! 

All special events are made possible through the generous support of our families, faculty/staff, alumni, and friends, all of whom are fully committed to and in alignment with our D-E  mission to "as a community of learners... make it better." 

To get involved with special events at D-E, please contact Linda Binder, Director of Special Events, at: bindel@d-e.org

Bulldog Bash 2025 Heartfelt Thanks

The 2025 Bulldog Bash was a night to remember! Preeti Fibiger P’24, our Interim Head of School, and our Incoming Head of School, Dr. James Calleroz White, opened the evening with heartfelt remarks, sharing their gratitude and excitement for the future of D-E. Guests were treated to an unforgettable performance by Malachi Nassér ’22, who brought the house down with his original music.

Co-Chairs Katya Gersten P’28 and Lisa Lazarus P’28, along with a dedicated committee, helped create an atmosphere full of energy, community spirit, and celebration.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised an incredible $650,000 towards financial aid. The night was filled with joy, connection, and fun—and everyone had a blast! As a sweet send-off, guests were treated to goodies from the Candy Zoo Truck, generously donated by Jennifer Rich P’20,’22.

We can’t wait to do it again next year! See you on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Montammy Country Club.

A Look Back: Fall 2022 Head of School Society BBQ Highlights

A Look Back: Fall 2022 Head of School Society BBQ Recap

What a D-Elightful, memorable evening!

Members of the D-E Head of School Society gathered together after a two-year pandemic-related hiatus to meet the incoming Head of School, Jeremey Gregersen, and his wife, Liz, at the Montammy Country Club. The fun casual format of this event allowed for organic connecting with community members, both new and known. The Head of School Society recognizes gifts of $2,500 and above and Young Alumni (last ten years)  gifts of $250 and above. While unrestricted Annual Fund participation is always the Dwight-Englewood priority, we thank all of the Head of School Society who prove leadership is so vital to our community's success.
