Continuing an annual DIS tradition today, our graduating seniors returned to the Churchill campus for their Senior Walk. Seniors walked around Churchill in their caps and gowns, with all of the lower school students cheering them on. After their walk, seniors answered students' questions about what to expect in middle/high school, their favorite DIS memories and how they prepared for their upcoming college experience. Seniors then went to visit old elementary school teachers who they hadn't seen in years. Teachers were extremely emotional, as they welcomed their old students back to say, not goodbye, but see you later. #theDISdifference #internationaleducation #AllezLesTigres
