Alumni Visiting Day

Chandler welcomed alumni back to campus for its annual Alumni Visiting Day on February 5, offering a chance to reconnect with former classmates and faculty and share their expertise, insights and talents with students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Alumni participated in an African American Read-In; shared personal stories of identity, California history, the power of team sports, the importance of archaeology, the value of persuasive arguments, and pathways to becoming a writer, musician, creator, doctor, entrepreneur and more. Middle School Keynote speaker, Naveen Jeereddi ’88, inspired students to embrace challenges and approach lifelong learning with a hyper-growth mindset.

In the evening, alumni participated in the inaugural Debate Showcase event, hosted by Mr. Hulm and Mr. Spencer, as team members and judges. The debate demonstration between alumni vs. eighthgrade students was an exciting battle of the minds. Ultimately, our alumni team, William Farhat ’17 and Andrew Gong ’17, were awarded the Champion metals.

MANY THANKS! to all of our alumni experts who made Alumni Visiting Day a success!
