“I’m looking for a better tomorrow where he doesn’t go through the things I’ve gone through and other people of color have gone through,” said Herring.
Averie Meeks, a senior at DCHS and Aundra’s daughter, also participated in the challenge and shared that she was proud of her father and the school administration for standing behind the movement.
“I want to know my school is behind me and is backing people of color up,” said Averie. “Change will take time but even the longest journey begins with a single step.”
FAREWELL With the close of the school year, we also said goodbye to three Dowling Catholic faculty members who have completed their teaching careers. We also wish all the best to Mary Bartemes, Chrissy Daggett, Bob Hallgren and Chris Harbaugh as they pursue their next endeavors. We are grateful to these outstanding educators for their many years of service and their tremendous contributions. They will all be greatly missed.
