From the Alumni Chair

Dear JTD Alumni,

As the students at John Thomas Dye settle back into campus, I am reminded of the hope and possibility the new school year brings. The students are ready to “Rise and Shine”—open to learning, building community, and cultivating character.

Inspired by the young minds at JTD, we look forward to another engaging year of activities for the JTD Alumni community. As a group, we are more active than ever and have never had more JTD DYE-Hards.

It was wonderful to have so many new members of the alumni community join us at the JTD Fair in May, and to see familiar faces at the Alumni Breakfast, too.

For those of you who donated to the 2024-25 Annual Fund, the Alumni Donor Reception will take place this year in November. Look out for an invitation in the coming weeks. We look forward to thanking you for your continued involvement with our much-loved school and reminiscing with fellow alumni and teachers, past and present. The evening has become one of my favorite alumni events.

We have such a special, lively alumni group. We always love to hear from you. It is thanks to your enthusiasm and commitment to our community that JTD continues to be a place where children don’t just grow, but thrive.

Please reach out with updates or ideas for us. If you would like to come back to campus, let us know. And if you are interested in getting involved with our Alumni program, we would love to have you! We hope to see you at one of our events soon.

In Love, Beauty, and Truth,

His recently published book, North to the Future, chronicles what happens when a Los Angeles digital native—someone who came of age with smartphones and social media—is thrust into some of Earth's most remote terrain.
