We look forward to reconnecting with former classmates, faculty and students at the 75th Diamond Jubilee Gala,” states Soenja Evans, president of DVHSAA. “It is important for alumni to support fundraising events such as this gala so the school can keep its doors open for another 75 years.”
“A portion of the proceeds will help Dunbar Vocational High School to continue to educate our youth, keep vital programs and offer new programs in the school which will help Dunbar students succeed at work and in life,” continues Evans.
