During the 2023 - 2024 school year, DAIS turned 25 years old! It shows no sign of letting up.
All of the monthly meetings were held in person. We saw consistent participation averaging well over 40 students per meeting.
The 25th Annual Multicultural Student Leadership Conference was held at Poly Prep Country Day School on Saturday, May 11, 2024. Students from 26 schools attended!
